Darren Till is likely the best-placed UFC fighter on this list to turn things around. Despite losing four of his last five fights, 'The Gorilla' is still ranked No.8 in the middleweight division and at 29 years old, he has plenty of time ahead of him.

Till has already challenged for the welterweight title and should he put together some wins, Israel Adesanya has been vocal about wanting a fight with him in the future. While his form has been mixed in recent times, the support he receives from UFC fans has never waivered.

Till earned the love of the fans through his exciting fight style, spectacular walkouts and how genuine he is in every interview. Like many names on this list, his next fight will be very important for the trajectory of his career.


#1. Nate Diaz - UFC welterweight

Nate Diaz is one of the most popular fighters on the entire roster. He has also developed a fandom that somehow continues to grow every time he fights, regardless of whether he wins or loses. His most recent bout against Leon Edwards was a perfect example of this.

In that fight, Diaz was picked apart for the first four rounds before rocking Edwards late in the bout. While he would still lose the fight on the judges scorecards, his reputation continued to grow as an elite fighter who could never be ruled out in any situation.

The Stockton star is also known for not holding back when he is on the microphone, and his rivalry with Conor McGregor has only added to his lore.

Diaz is now in a very interesting position as he has just one fight left on his contract. While it remains to be seen where his career will take him after that, you can be sure that his loyal fanbase will continue to follow his career.
