The man is a gem

Conor McGregor uber-fans may not enjoy it that much but everyone else will love this Nate Diaz interview.

Diaz will go down as a legend of the Octagon and the attitude put forward by Nate and older brother Nick has made them must-see television.

Typically, we’re used to seeing a disinterested Nate Diaz in promotional interviews but we recently got a new glimpse at what makes the Stockton fighter tick.

We learn that his favourite film is the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Lionheart and that he was a huge fan of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in his 20-minute chat with The Buzzer‘s Andy Nesbitt.

Diaz also explains why his 2008 clash with Josh Neer is his favourite fight ever and how he felt he was rich when he won the Ultimate Fighter

UFC 196 McGregor vs. Diaz Press Conference

It’s absolute gold and begs the question… Who doesn’t love the Diaz brothers?
