#4. Nate Diaz
Nate Diaz is cut from a unique cloth. This is a fighter that grew up having to be ready and willing forae potential fight pending anytime or anywhere. This type of environment prompted both Nick and Nate Diaz to take up martial arts training.
Although he's now paid to fight, he's not afraid to use his skills for free. The Californian doesn't tolerate any disrespect thrown his way. Ready and willing to stand up for himself or his team at all times, it was imminent that Diaz would become a fan-favorite sooner or later. A 20-13 record may not look amazing at face value, but delving into the wins and losses shows a remarkable career with the company.
Most notably, Diaz was willing to step in on short notice to fight a streaking Conor McGregor, who finished the greatest featherweight of all time, Jose Aldo, in only 13-seconds. The two would eventually meet after disputes on weight class, and Diaz would win this bout via submission. The entire arena was in shock except for Nate Diaz, who famously let the world know that he was not surprised.
#3. Khamzat Chimaev
Location, opponent, time -- these are variables that mean as little as nothing to the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev. He genuinely just wants to fight. Although 'Borz' had some inactivity due to the Covid-19 virus, he wound up returning as impressive as ever.
'Borz' called for his next fight as he was already in a battle. He picked up his opponent and held a conversation with Dana White simultaneously. The 27--year-old was asking for anyone, including Brock Lesnar. The 10-0 fighter has one of the quickest rises to fame in UFC history, and it's thanks to this mentality of his.
The skillset backs the confidence to a tee as well. 10-0, all by finish. Chimaev is taking a leap up the ranks to take on former title-challenger Gilbert Burns. While many would be hesitant to take this ambitious of a jump in competition, the athlete fighting out of Sweden is eager for this. Not only is he potentially one fight away from a welterweight title shot, but he's a threat to the middleweight division too. He's already jumped up to the weight class and scored a knockout victory in just 17-seconds.
