Superstar
Prior to the Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale event, Nate Diaz complained in interviews that he wasn't paid enough, and with the salaries revealed today by the NSAC, maybe there is some truth to what he said.
Diaz's contract had him at $15,000 to show and $15,000 to win. He of course netted an additional $50,000 for the knock out of the night. Maynard on the other hand was contracted for $45,000 to show and another $45,000 had he won. The discrepancy between the two seems a bit weird, considering both started their official UFC career at the same time, and both have previously fought for the lightweight title.
Not only has Diaz competed for the UFC lightweight title, he also has main evented UFC on FOX events three times.
