10. Nate Diaz

The first Diaz brother to feature on this list, Nate Diaz had long taken a backseat to his more popular brother before a post-fight interview would change the trajectory of his career forever.

Diaz had just defeated perennial lightweight contender Michael Johnson in dominant fashion at UFC on Fox 17 when Joe Rogan came to interview him.

"Conor McGregor, you've taken everything I've worked for, motherf*cker! I'ma fight your f*cking ass! You know what's the real fight, the real money fight... Me!
