Former UFC fighter Nate Diaz has been compared to Dana White.
Nate Diaz is one of the most popular fighters to have fought in the UFC. For those unaware, he was the first fighter to beat Conor McGregor in the promotion which skyrocketed his popularity.
However, he is not a part of the promotion anymore. Nate Diaz’s last fight in Dana White’s promotion was back in September 2022 when he took on Tong Ferguson. It is worth noting that he was initially supposed to fight Khamzat Chimaev but the fight fell apart after Chimaev missed weight.
As a result, Diaz fought Ferguson and won the fight via submission. Since then, he has gone on to start his own promotion. Speaking about the same during a podcast, former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub spoke about how Diaz has the flexibility of doing whatever he wants.
