Nick Diaz won the inaugural Strikeforce welterweight championship

Nick Diaz achieved a great deal of success during his legendary MMA career including winning the inaugural Strikeforce welterweight championship.

During his stint with the promotion, there was no denying that Diaz was among their biggest stars and was considered one of the top fighters outside the UFC.

Last week marked 15 years since the Stockton native won the title after earning a first round TKO over Marius Zaromskis at Strikeforce: Miami. His reign was a lengthy one as he went on to make three successful title defenses, including his famous TKO win over Paul Daley, before joining the UFC after his contract was absorbed by the promotion.
