they say not a lot of money is made for fighters on the come-up but Nate Diaz
has made sure he receives the bag these days he also says he'll only pick up the
phone for 20 million-dollar fights that or forget it now it kind of makes sense
because this guy does tend to get awfully bloody real quickly I mean even
look at his mural it is I'm not surprised
someone took out the other words no for the Diaz brothers the UFC has been their
ticket from rags to riches no Nate he went from working as a cook
next to a martial arts gym to his brother owning his own and the to
running a very successful CBD business which says you know no surprise there I
got a smoke the weed after the faggot sadness mom gave up CB me so what was
that CBD by game of nutrition it's good for you Nate's fight money might not be
at the 20 million dollar mark but he did come close after a second belt with
Conor McGregor which earned him over 10 million dollars from his cut from the
pay-per-views now it's fights like this that have afforded him a nice piece of
property in his hometown of Stockton California where he sits on 1.5 acres of
land and he drives the 2017 Chevy Tahoe also a Ford Raptor and he showed this
off on his very own personal YouTube channel yes
now when Nate isn't training for war while he's enjoying his newfound fortune
traveling the world and attending concerts like Coachella but don't be
surprised if you don't recognize him out in public
Nate's been doing pretty good financially as a result of his lengthy
UFC tenure but there was a time in his career where he realized that he wasn't
getting paid but he knew he was worth it was then he decided to put his foot down
back at 2015 he stayed in fighters need to start imagining themselves as the
product because we're the product of this business
I ain't free I don't know why everybody is acting like they are you probably
didn't say it is there ticularly as I did but you know in 2014 just one year
after signing a long-term deal with the UFC well Nate he found himself still
fighting for as little as $16,000 for a win now that's the same thing he was
earning a decade earlier it was then he asked for a complete release from his
contract and he decided to sit things out until they began to pay off now it
wouldn't take long for him to bump his take home into the seven figures with
his two million dollar fee for his second bout in the ring against Conor
McGregor now if these boys go at it for a third time how much do you think date
will get paid I'd like to hear what you have to say in the comments down below I
actually think it'll be pretty close to the 20 million dollars he thinks he
deserves what's going on guys it's probably michael crichton hitting you

Dave Diaz was born on April 16th 1985 in Stockton California now we grew up in a
small one-story house in Lodi just north of Stockton and there he lived with his
mother his older brother and his sister now dad he wasn't around much during his
childhood which meant the boys they had to learn to not only fend for themselves
but also for the girls their family because Stockton apparently its rough
and tough it was big bro Nik two years of senior who first began to train
professionally at Animal House gym no Nate he found himself working as a cook
at a restaurant next door at 11 and he began to join his brother training
everyday there Nate he was naturally good at boxing but he really fell in
love with jiu-jitsu now here's an old clip of the two training at 16 and 17
years old
the boys became local celebs throat Stockton's challenging everyone to fight
now if they wanted to go after Nick well they had to choke out Nate first and the
young scrawny Nate well he was able to hold his own against much bigger kids
now eventually the boys they dropped out of school and Nate he sold weed to keep
money in his pocket now began to make a name for himself with six wins and two
losses between 2004 2007 that was in the WEC he also competed in the Ultimate
Fighter his previous bouts in the UFC were earning him between thirty and
eighty five thousand dollars that's depending on if he won and what fighting
bonuses he was awarded like submission or fight of the night now I actually
have a full breakdown of all his earnings throughout his career
so we'll just roll through that on September 19th of 2007 at UFC Fight
Night well he was paid $30,000 that's fifteen thousand dollars to show up and
fifteen thousand dollars in win bonuses against jr. essence sow a January 23rd
2008 at UFC Fight Night against Alvin Robinson he was paid seventy thousand
dollars fifteen thousand dollars to show up fifteen thousand dollars because he
won and forty thousand dollars for submission of the night in bonuses on
April 2nd at UFC Fight Night with a win against Kurt Pellegrino will he earn
fifty thousand dollars fifteen to show 15 for the win and 20k submission for
the night on September 17th where Diaz was the headliner for UFC Fight Night
against Josh neer fully 170 thousand dollars 20 to show 22 win and thirty
thousand dollars for fight of the Night bonus at UFC 94 he lost the Clay Guida
but he still earned eighty five thousand dollars twenty thousand the show and 65
thousand for fight of the Night bonus at UFC Fight Night Diaz vs. Gillard with a
win here in $78,000 that's 24 thousand dollars to show up 24 thousand dollars
for the win bonus and thirty thousand dollars for submission of the night and
UFC Fight Night Maynard versus Diaz which he lost well he only took Oh 24k
and UFC 111 against Rory Markham he won forty-nine thousand twenty four thousand
to show 24 thousand and winning bonuses and one thousand dollars from Markham
because he missed his way I do have Siwon
he won against Marcus Davis and he earned a hundred and twenty thousand
dollars thirty thousand to show thirty thousand and win bonuses and sixty
thousand for fight of the night next up were two losses at UFC 125 and UFC 129
where he earned $33,000 for appearing and UFC 135 he won against Tekken
noragami and he earned one hundred and forty-one thousand dollars thirty three
thousand dollars to show thirty three thousand dollars in winning bonuses and
seventy five thousand dollars for submission of the night and you have
c-141 he chalked up another win against Donald Cerrone and for this year and a
hundred and forty nine thousand dollars thirty seven thousand to show thirty
seven to win and seventy-five thousand dollars first fight of the night again
he was the headliner for the UFC fight of the night Diaz versus Miller he won
against Jim Miller and earned himself $147,000 41 thousand for the fight 41
thousand for the win and sixty-five thousand for submission of the night and
you have see on Fox Henderson versus Diaz will he lost to Benson Henderson
and he took home 50k at the next UFC on Fox Henderson versus Melendez well he
lost to Josh Thompson and he took home $15,000 ouch

thousand dollars to the show fifteen thousand dollars because he won
and fifty thousand dollars for knockout of the night he lost the Rafael dos
Anjos earning sixteen thousand dollars twenty thousand dollars to show but find
four thousand dollars for missing wage then he won against Michael Johnson and
earning $110,000 twenty two show twenty to win and fifty thousand dollars for
fight of the night he also picked himself up a sponsorship with Reebok
earning him an additional twenty K now that Reebok money it must have felt like
a nice cherry on top but Nate Diaz was literally fighting to live now some of
these sums the money they sound good but you can imagine that to all he had to
live on for the year and you know he really had to win to
make decent coins now that all changed when a new opponent would guarantee the
views the UFC wanted and they Diaz he knew his value now for his first fight
against Conor at UFC 196 will Nate here $620,000 that's half a million to show
50,000 for fight of the Night bonus and 50,000 for performance of the Night
bonus also RIBA they're still paying him that 20k it was the next fight that
really upped his net worth with him earning two million dollars for the
fight and a 50k bonus for fight of the night and 20k again from Reebok now
finally he had earned enough money to take a little break for his he puts it
per day the most recent w against Anthony Pettis Willie took home two
hundred seventy thousand million to show and twenty thousand and fight we consent
to pay I don't know though there have been other streams of revenue with Nate
doing an ongoing sponsorship promoting Zev yeah that's a zero calorie drink he
posts about it all over socials no for a guy who's tough but to be honest that's

acres no the home it includes 3 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms the swimming pool it's got
a fancy fireplace and he also likes to rent lavish homes away from home
whenever he has a fight no Vegas I had a house for my last two fights and
and Orlando yeah I usually get a house I've been in this game too long too many
fights after a while you just like like I what I would like to kind of like step
out and step in when I'm ready instead of just staying the whole time it's kind
of kind of a mess no when it comes to wimps it appears the nade he is his pick
between the 2017 Chevy Tahoe LTZ which he got covered in matte black also he's
got a Ford Raptor also with 2017 there Nate's also got a love for biking and

from fighting going on multiple trips he was flying in a helicopter in New York
City and he's showing his boys a good time in Los Angeles now he's even got
his hands on a CDO and it looks like the man took a vacation who would have thunk
