#4. UFC welterweight Nate Diaz

Stockton's own Nate Diaz is often regarded as one of the hardest fighters on the UFC's roster. With a seemingly never-ending gas tank, Nate Diaz is someone you would want in your ranks in a street fight.

Such is his determination and grit that he was lauded by Georges St-Pierre's coach, Firas Zahabi, as one of the scariest street fighters in the MMA scene. And if a former middleweight champion's coach offers an opinion like that, one would do well to accept it.

In fact, a similar opinion was echoed by his brother Nick Diaz, who, ahead of his fight against Robbie Lawler at UFC 266, revealed that Nate used to get into gang fights as a youngster.

Nick Diaz revealed that they had to adapt to such an adverse condition to survive in their hometown that was rife with violence.


#3. UFC lightweight Conor McGregor

The name Conor McGregor is synonymous with fame, money and controversy. The MMA and UFC news circuit is riddled with stories of 'The Notorious' getting into scuffles outside the octagon.

However, it is his fearlessness that one would want in a partner should they find themselves faced with a physical altercation on the street.

Having picked brawls with people affiliated with the notorious Kinahan cartel in Ireland and bragging about it in a cryptic post on social media, it is all but certain that Conor McGregor fears no one.

The fact that there were reports of threats to his life after his punch-up with Graham 'The Wig' Whelan's father only makes this instance all the more shocking. Multiple reports suggested that the cartel had called for a bounty on the southpaw's head; however, it was soon dismissed by his father.

The former UFC double champ displays little to no regard for his surroundings as was evident from his clash against Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team while they were traveling on their bus.
