5 fight of the night awards, 6 submission of the night awards and a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Nate Diaz has an impressive record in the Octagon. After winning season 5 of TUF Nate Diaz has become a feared submission specialist, tapping out the likes of Takanori Gomi, Jim Miller and Melvin Guillard. Fellow Ultimate Fighter winner Diego Sanchez recently called out the 29-year-old brother of retired UFC fighter Nick Diaz, but manger Mike Kogan has countered saying: "Diego isn't important enough to warrant a response. "He should count his lucky stars two retarded judges were watching Oprah reruns while he was fighting and then handed him a win." Diaz is currently sitting out while he disputes his contract with the UFC and president Dana White over money issues, but when he does return, the Californian will look to get back to what he does best -making people tap out.
