Media 5 Years Ago Today, Nate Diaz Called Out Conor and Changed His Life Forever

[Brodie]

One of the most iconic promos in MMA history.

Nate Diaz was pulled from the rankings altogether due to inactivity prior to his fight with Michael Johnson, he eventually fought and beat MJ and made a reported $40,000 for his win. He called out Conor immediately after the fight and got his wish on 11 days short notice. He took advantage of the situation and handed Conor his first loss in the UFC. Since then he has become one of the biggest draws in the organization and has either headlined or co-headlined every PPV he’s been apart of and has been making 500k at minimum per fight.
