Prior to his official MMA career, Diaz competed in a bare knuckle MMA fight against Robert Limon on July 20, 2002, at the age of 17. Footage has since emerged of the fight and it is believed to be his first competitive experience.[12]
Upon making his official professional MMA debut, Diaz competed mainly for World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC). In 2006, at WEC 24, he fought for the WEC Lightweight Championship against then-champion Hermes França, losing by submission in the second round. This was the last event held by WEC before it was acquired by Zuffa, LLC, then parent company of the UFC.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
The Ultimate Fighter 5
Diaz was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter 5, which exclusively featured lightweights, fighting on Jens Pulver's team. In the preliminary round, Diaz defeated Rob Emerson by submission; in the quarterfinals he defeated fellow Team Pulver teammate Corey Hill via triangle choke submission in the first round. In the semifinals, Diaz defeated Team Penn member Gray Maynard by submission, advancing to the finals, in which he faced teammate Manvel Gamburyan. Diaz won by submission after Gamburyan was forced to tap out in the second round due to the dislocation of his right shoulder as the result of attempting a takedown.[13] With the victory, Diaz won The Ultimate Fighter 5.[14]
2008
After defeating Alvin Robinson and Junior Assunção via submission, Diaz demanded tougher opponents. He was given a match with Kurt Pellegrino at UFC Fight Night 13. Diaz defeated Pellegrino via triangle-choke submission in the second round. As he locked up the choke, Diaz had time to flex for the crowd and throw up double middle fingers before Pellegrino submitted. Diaz then defeated veteran Josh Neer by split decision in the main event of UFC Fight Night 15.
Diaz faced Gray Maynard on January 11, 2010, in the main event at UFC Fight Night 20, a rematch from when the two met in the semi-finals of the TUF 5lightweight tournament, which Diaz won. Diaz lost a controversial split decision to Maynard, as the former TUF winner was given the nod in the FightMetric reports, winning rounds two and three.[15][16]
After three losses in four fights, Nate considered making a permanent move up in weight to the 170 lb. weight class, stating "I don't make enough money to have to drop this much weight so I'd like to fight at 170 and only go to 155 every once in a while."[17]
Diaz made his Welterweight debut on March 27, 2010, at UFC 111 against Miletich Fighting Systems product and striking specialist Rory Markham.[18] At the weigh-ins, Markham weighed in at 177, whereas Diaz weighed in at the Welterweight limit of 171; the fight was changed to a catchweight fight. Diaz went on to win the fight by TKO in the first round.
After the win over Markham, Diaz stated he would compete in both weight classes. His next fight was again at Welterweight against former professional boxer Marcus Davis on August 28, 2010, at UFC 118.[19] Diaz finished Davis after choking him unconscious with a guillotine choke submission in the final round; the bout earned Fight of the Night honors.
Diaz next faced South Korean fighter Dong Hyun Kim, on January 1, 2011, at UFC 125.[20] Diaz lost the fight via unanimous decision.
Diaz fought Rory MacDonald on April 30, 2011, at UFC 129.[21] Diaz was unable to mount much significant offense and lost via unanimous decision. Following the loss, Diaz stated that he would be moving back down to the lightweight division.[22]
Diaz defeated Donald Cerrone at UFC 141[25] via unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, and 29–28) in a performance that earned both participants Fight of the Night honors.[26] Despite being knocked off of his feet multiple times by sweeping leg kicks from Cerrone, Diaz had one of the best performances of his career. Diaz set a CompuStrike record, landing 82% of the strikes he threw en route to his victory over Cerrone.[27]
2012
Diaz, after several years of training, finally received his Brazilian jiu-jitsublack belt from Cesar Gracie.[28] He was awarded his black belt a month before his fight with fellow Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Jim Miller.
Diaz next faced Jim Miller on May 5, 2012, at UFC on Fox 3.[29] Diaz outboxed Miller for the majority of the first two rounds, even dropping Miller with a straight left at the end of the first round. Near the end of round two, Miller shot in for a takedown, to which Diaz stuffed and countered with a rolling guillotine choke, forcing the tap at 4:09 of the second round. The submission won Diaz his fifth Submission of the Night bonus award.[30] It was also the first time Miller had been stopped in his MMA career.[31]
Diaz faced Benson Henderson on December 8, 2012, at UFC on Fox 5 in the main event for the UFC Lightweight Championship.[32] Diaz lost the one-sided bout via unanimous decision.[33] Three weeks prior to the championship bout, Diaz signed an eight-fight contract with UFC.[34]
2013
Diaz faced former Strikeforce Lightweight ChampionJosh Thomson on April 20, 2013, at UFC on Fox 7. He lost the fight via TKO due to a head kick and punches, during which Nate's brother, Nick Diaz physically threw a towel into the octagon, in an attempt to signal the referee to end the bout.[35][36] On May 16, 2013, Diaz was suspended by the UFC for violating the UFC's code of conduct by using a homophobic slur on his Twitter page. The UFC expressed their disappointment and suspended him;[37] he was eventually suspended for 90 days and fined $20,000.[38]
A rubber match with Gray Maynard took place on November 30, 2013, in the main event at The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale.[39] Diaz won via TKO in the first round.[40] The stoppage earned him his first Knockout of the Night bonus.[41]
2014
On May 5, 2014, both Nate Diaz and fellow UFC fighter T. J. Grant were removed from the UFC's lightweight rankings after being deemed inactive by the UFC.[42]
After over a year away from the sport, Diaz returned from his self-imposed hiatus and faced Rafael Dos Anjos on December 13, 2014, at UFC on Fox 13.[43] Diaz missed weight, coming in at 160.6 pounds. He was given additional time to make the lightweight limit, and cut down to 155.2. However, he was still fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to Rafael dos Anjos. Diaz, who seemed unmotivated and annoyed for most of the fight, lost the one-sided fight via unanimous decision (30–26, 30–26, and 30–27).[44]
2015
Diaz was briefly linked to a welterweight bout with Matt Brown on July 11, 2015, at UFC 189.[45] However, in mid-April, Brown announced that the pairing had been scrapped.[46]
After sitting out again for over a year, Diaz returned to face Michael Johnson on December 19, 2015, at UFC on Fox 17.[47] He won the fight via unanimous decision and went on to give one of the most infamous post-fight interviews in UFC history, where he called out Conor McGregor by saying "you're taking everything I work for, motherfucker, and I'ma fight your fucking ass" on live broadcast television.[48] Both participants were awarded Fight of the Night honors.[49]
2016
Diaz was set as a replacement to face Conor McGregor on March 5, 2016, at UFC 196, filling in for an injured Rafael dos Anjos.[50] With Diaz only having eleven days notice, the fight took place at welterweight (170 lbs) due to lack of time to cut weight.[51] Diaz won the fight via submission in the second round.[52] This gave Diaz his ninth submission victory in the UFC, tied for the second-most all-time behind only Royce Gracie. Both fighters were awarded Fight of the Night honors and Diaz was also awarded with the Performance of the Night bonus.[53]
A rematch with McGregor was scheduled for July 9, 2016, at UFC 200.[54][55] However, on April 19, the UFC announced that McGregor had been pulled from the event after failing to fulfill media obligations in Las Vegas related to the fight.[56] In turn, the fight with McGregor was rescheduled and took place the following month, contested again at welterweight, at UFC 202.[57] Diaz lost the rematch via majority decision.[58] The contest was once again awarded Fight of the Night honors.[59]
At the UFC 202 post-fight press conference, Diaz violated the USADA rule by smoking CBD, Cannabidiol, vape pen within four hours after a fight. He was not sanctioned as CBD is not considered a PED. USADA changed their rules and lifted CBD from the banned list not long after.[60]
2018
After a two-year-long layoff, it was announced on August 3, 2018, that Diaz was expected to return on November 3 against Dustin Poirier in a lightweight bout. This bout was expected to serve as the co-headliner of UFC 230.[61] However, on October 9, 2018, it was announced that Poirier pulled out due to injury and as a result, the bout was canceled.[62]
2019
Nate Diaz returned to competition on August 17 at UFC 241. He faced Anthony Pettis in a welterweight bout which served as the co-main event.[63] With a dominant performance, he won the fight by unanimous decision.[64]
Diaz faced Jorge Masvidal on November 2, 2019, in the main event of UFC 244.[65] In a unique situation, UFC President Dana White confirmed that the headlining bout was for a celebratory "baddest motherfucker" ('BMF') belt.[66] After being dominated for most of the fight, Diaz lost the fight via TKO between rounds three and four when the cage-side physician determined a cut over Diaz's right eye rendered him unable to continue.[67]
2021
Diaz was expected to face Leon Edwards on May 15, 2021, at UFC 262 in the event's co-headliner, marking the first time a non-main event and non-title bout had been scheduled for 5 rounds.[68] However, the bout was moved to UFC 263 due to a minor injury sustained by Diaz and eventually took place for five rounds as well.[69] Edwards controlled a vast majority of the bout, but was stunned badly with punches late in the fifth. Edwards won the fight by unanimous decision (49–46, 49–46, 49–46).[70]
2022
On the last fight of his UFC contract, Diaz was scheduled to face Khamzat Chimaev on September 10, 2022, in the main event of UFC 279.[71] However, at the weigh-ins on September 9, Chimaev weighed in at 178.5 pounds, seven-and-a-half pounds over the welterweight non-title fight limit.[72] As a result of Chimaev missing weight, he was removed from his bout with Diaz. Diaz instead faced Tony Ferguson in the main event.[73] Diaz won the fight via a guillotine choke submission in the fourth round.[74] This win earned Diaz his second Performance of the Night bonus award.[75] Diaz opted to not re-sign with the UFC before the bout with Ferguson, thus making Diaz a free agent once the fight concluded.[76]
After becoming a free agent, Diaz decided to enter into the sport of boxing. On April 12, 2023 it was announced that Diaz would be making his professional boxing debut against Jake Paul. The bout took place on August 5, 2023 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.[77] Paul defeated Diaz via unanimous decision with scores of 98–91, 98–91, and 97–92.[78][79]
Diaz's older brother Nick is also a professional MMA fighter.[60] Both Diaz brothers are advocates for cannabis and even have a licensed line of marijuana pre-rolls made by California Finest.[87][88][89][90] They currently run a Brazilian jiu-jitsu school in Stockton, California (Nick Diaz Academy), and founded a CBD company called Game Up Nutrition.[91] He has been primarily vegan since he was 18 years old,[92][93] but admits to eating fish from time to time.[94] On June 20, 2018, it was announced that Diaz's girlfriend had given birth to their daughter.[95]
In August 2022, Diaz publicly endorsed fellow UFC veteran BJ Penn in his run for governor for Hawaii.[96]
In September 2022, Diaz announced the news that he was starting his own combat sports promotion company, Real Fight Inc.[97] As a result of the attention that Diaz had brought to the city of Stockton, he was presented with a key to the city by the mayor during a Stockton Kings basketball game in December 2022.[98]
In October 2022, Diaz was involved in a brawl backstage at the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva boxing match and was removed from the event as a result.[99]
In April 2023, footage emerged of Diaz getting involved in an altercation in the street that ended with him choking a man unconscious.[100] Diaz was then issued a warrant and Diaz turned himself in to the New Orleans Police Department on April 27, at 7:10 AM, facing a second-degree battery charge.[101] Diaz's attorney claimed that he acted in self-defense and he was released on a $10,000 bond.[102] On September 25, 2023, it was reported that the Orleans Parish would not pursue the case against Diaz indicating his actions were entirely in self defense as shown on video, clean in pictures and clear from the multiple witnesses.[103]
