Even in the recent fight against Robbie Lawler, Nick Diaz didn't attempt to coerce fans into believing anything that wasn't true. He was completely honest about his mindset going into the fight and earned respect from all corners of the MMA community.
In an era where everyone is expected to be politically correct and adhere to societal norms, the Diaz brothers are welcome outliers.
#3 The Diaz brothers' upbringing and subsequent legacy demand respect
The Diaz brothers didn't have anything handed to them; they needed to work very hard to get to where they are now. Brought up in a difficult neighborhood in Stockton, California, the duo braved poverty and violence to make a name for themselves as fighters.
Nick once opened up about his school life, when he stated that he was bullied for his clothes, manner of speech and lack of academic skills. He also had to endure the suicide of a love interest, even saying that he didn't have any other option but to become a fighter. Nate had an older brother to look up to, but he too didn't fare much better in his childhood.
The Diaz brothers are at the top of the MMA world right now, through sheer heart and hard work. Their story and legacy have a cherished place in the hearts of fans, who invariably tune into their fights and root for them.
