10 Best Trash-Talkers In UFC History

5. Nick Diaz

Nick Diaz is known as one of the toughest ever fighters to step in the Octagon. And part of that toughness was often highlighted when he was called upon to back up the trash that he'd been talking in the build to a fight.

To be honest, Diaz isn't loved just for his trash-talking before a fight - he is loved for often carrying on the trash-talking during and after a fight, too.

With Nick - the older brother of Nate - it was always a case of him never being afraid to say exactly what was on his mind. What was on his mind, of course, was usually filled with expletives and threats. Oh, and middle fingers. Yup, Nick Diaz loved nothing more than to goad an opponent with a one-fingered salute.

At 36 years of age, many fight fans are hoping that Nick Diaz decides to once more come out of retirement at some point in the future. This is somebody who always delivers exactly what you'd hope to see from him - no-nonsense trash-talking and a smash-mouth, direct fighting approach.
