Nate Diaz has become one of the most popular fighters in mixed martial arts (MMA) after defeating current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight champion Conor McGregor at UFC 196 via submission.
After capturing the biggest win of his lengthy professional career, Diaz's promotional stock absolutely skyrocketed through the roof. His hardcore persona and overall ability inside of the Octagon were finally vindicated. With a victory over McGregor, Diaz escaped the shadow of big brother Nick.
With all of this new found notoriety and attention, Diaz has begun to act like a businessman, most notably asking UFC president Dana White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta for more money for a rematch with McGregor in a botched meeting last week.
