After a three-year hiatus from fighting, Nate Diaz returned to the Octagon in August 2019 at UFC 241. He faced former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and won by unanimous decision after three rounds of continuous pressure and striking exchanges. Following the win, Diaz called out Jorge Masvidal, citing a desire to fight someone he deemed worthy of competition. This led to the creation of the symbolic “BMF” (Baddest Motherf*****) title in their subsequent bout.
Known for his gritty endurance, sharp jiu-jitsu, and durable chin, Diaz remains a fan favorite in the sport. His unfiltered persona outside the cage contributes to his widespread appeal, making him a rare blend of both sporting credibility and entertainment value.
Nate Diaz has been in a long-term relationship with Misty Brown. On June 20, 2018, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter. Together since 2012, Diaz and Brown generally remain private about their personal lives and focus attention on Diaz’s athletic career and business ventures.
Nate and his brother Nick Diaz run a successful Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Lodi, California, where they train aspiring fighters and maintain their own skills. Diaz's fighting style mirrors his brother’s—emphasizing high-volume boxing, exceptional cardio, resilience, and technical grappling rooted in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
Beyond fighting, the Diaz brothers are vocal advocates of fighter empowerment and cannabis use for recovery—topics that continue to spark conversations both inside and outside the MMA community.
