10 Most Charismatic Performers In UFC History
9. Nate Diaz
When Nate Diaz shocked the world and took down the UFC's golden goose in Conor McGregor at UFC 196, he seemed to be the only person in that arena who was 'not surprised'.
Diaz had been slapping, flipping off and sh*t talking his way through the company's best Lightweight and Welterweight talent for years. So, many UFC hardcores had already fallen in love with the brash Stockton native and his epic victory over McGregor was seen as justice for all of his hard graft.
It's not just Diaz' work in the Octagon that makes him one of the most mesmerising figures currently signed to the company, though. His care-free lifestyle outside of the cage also appeals to a large section of the fanbase and the fact that Diaz frequently flaunts his fondness for weed sticks out as yet another example of his lovable 'don't give a f*ck' attitude.
Diaz may not find himself in a World Championship fight anytime soon. However, if his recent 'BMF' title clash with Jorge Masvidal is anything to go by, there's still a whole lot of money to be made from the deeply charismatic Welterweight taking on another loudmouth superstar.
