Diaz and his crew are often involved in various street fights and altercations. The Stockton native doesn’t like to back out of any type of fight inside and outside the UFC. However, his interactions with many respectful fans are as wholesome as it gets.

Nate, just like his brother Nick Diaz, was a true entertainer in his prime UFC years. Unlike other fighters, the Diaz brothers are more successful without even holding the UFC championship. However, the important question is who among the brothers was better inside the octagon.

Nick and Nate Diaz are both recognized for their fearless fighting tactics, tenacity, and unapologetic demeanors. Nick, the older brother, often takes a more stern, methodical style. It was evident by his famous fights with Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva. Nate, on the other hand, has a more fun yet equally aggressive intensity, memorably taunting Conor McGregor during their fights.
Both brothers are proud of their Stockton heritage, but each has a distinct personality both inside and outside of the octagon. UFC color commentator Joe Rogan is a huge fan of the Diaz brothers and recently compared both of them. In a detailed analysis, Rogan talked about Nick being more dangerous than Nate.
I mean Nate’s great but Nick is the real star of the family…Nick had a f***** nasty guard. He was a real killer. He would keep talking sh** to you and he will keep punching you and you’re getting tired.

Unfortunately, Nick had to stay away from fighting after getting a five-year ban. The infamous incident took place in 2015 when he tested positive for marijuana by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Diaz did make his UFC comeback after the suspension period, but he was definitely not the same fighter anymore.
