Former UFC star and MMA icon Nate Diaz has his return in sight for a second time inside the boxing squared circle.

Nate Diaz and his wife’s fairytale love story dates back to their childhood. The duo met in Salas Park where Diaz was a regular football player while Brown used to indulge in cheerleading practice. But it seems the 39-year-old boxer had quite a lot of antics even back then. Talking about the same in an interview, Brown had revealed, “He was always running laps. Even then, he was getting in trouble.”

As for Brown’s personal background, she was reportedly born on March 24, 1985. After graduating from Tokay high School in Lodi, she enrolled herself in the California State University, Stanislaus, to study Liberal Arts. However, as per reports, she is currently a homemaker and was last known to be associated with Meyer Corporation as a WMi analyst, in Fairfield.

If you take a closer look at the couple, their persona seem to differ a lot with the Diaz being flamboyant and his wife being as private as possible. But if you ask the missus, there’s a lot more than meets the eye! In an interview with The New York Times a few years back, Misty Brown had come forward to defend her husband, saying, “It’s wrong that he comes off as the middle finger mean guy that you can’t have a conversation with when deep down inside, he’s one of the most passionate people I’ve met. There’s a portrayal of him on TV, and when people meet him, they say, oh, he’s not mean at all.”

Further mentioning how Diaz’s public persona is just an act, she said, “He’s got a facade of some sort. All of them do. They don’t even realize it. They’re just jumping into the line. They’re like robots.”

Currently, the family resides somewhere around Highway 99, close to his hometown.
