#5 Nate Diaz
We obviously start with one of the Diaz brothers. The word ‘controversy’ wouldn’t exist if the Diaz brothers weren’t on the list. Nate is one of the most outspoken guys in the UFC, speaking his mind out completely backed by his emotions.
Being a veteran of the sport, Diaz has been involved in a lot of controversies with the latest being the ‘water bottle fight’ incident during the UFC 202 press conference that involved his foe, The Notorious one, Conor McGregor. To top it all, at the very same press conference, we all saw him walk away abruptly from the dais through the aisle amongst the audience, flipping off at McGregor on his way out. The commotion ended with both men hurling water bottles and Monster Energy drink cans at each other.
Prior to the start of the McGregor-Diaz rivalry, Nate used foul language while calling out Conor during the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, after his victory over Michael Johnson. The interview ended as Rogan stopped Diaz from using more inappropriate language, refraining him from doing snatching the mic.
