It was Nate’s elder brother Nick who made the first efforts to draw them out of poverty. After showcasing some real prowess during his martial arts training days, he decided to take up MMA professionally. ‘The elder Diaz’ soon became a name in the rising sport of MMA as he fought for multiple promotions around the world.
This also inspired Nate to follow in his brother’s footsteps. ‘The younger Diaz’ soon made it to the biggest global MMA promotion, the UFC. Both Diaz brothers also earned heavy cheques along with their fights, finally relieving their family from their poverty. But, looking at Nate Diaz’s current net worth of $10M, a number of fans might be curious to know whether he has any other sources of income apart from MMA.
Does Nate Diaz Own a Company?
Most fans are aware of the unpredictability of the sport of MMA. The community has witnessed the careers of fighters cut short even before they peaked. Looking at such situations, investing the money earned from MMA is always a good option. While some other noted UFC stars like Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have become massive businessmen using their popularity, ‘The Stockton Slapper’ also doesn’t lag too far behind.
The Diaz brothers launched their own CBD-based sports nutrition and wellness products brand ‘GAME UP Nutrition’ in 2018. Reports also say that both brothers have made quite good amounts from this venture to date.
However, the Diaz brothers always had a chaotic persona. Hence, it’s quite understandable that they wanted to do something related to fighting now that they had the money. Staying true to fan expectations, Nate Diaz announced the launch of his own fight promotion, ‘Real Fight Inc.’ in September 2022.

The noted MMA coverage house, ‘MMA Junkie’ reported Diaz’s own promotion will also hold boxing and jiu-jitsu bouts apart from MMA.
Diaz also released a press statement about his promotion for media outlets. It read, “Nathan Diaz will be applying for his promoter’s license in the coming weeks to form Real Fight, Inc., a new promotion that will focus on promoting combat sports shows, specifically boxing, MMA and BJJ. The new venture has no bearing on his status as a fighter, where he will continue to be very active.
