One of the one-sided victories of the UFC career of Nate Diaz had Joe Rogan rain.
Diaz is one of the most recognizable names in mixed martial arts, both to his exploits in the cage and antics outside of it.
The Californian is undoubtedly the best known for his two showdowns with the leading star of the sport, Conor McGregor.
But Diaz's first fight after splitting his attacks with the Irishman was also one of his most impressive, and it resulted in Rogan who confirmed a daring label to him.
Joe Rogan Branded Nate Diaz The 'most undervalued superstar' of the UFC after comeback Triumph
After a dismissal of three years after his Rematch with McGregor, in which Diaz would be planned to fight Dustin Poirier before their competition was canceled, the fan favorite returned to action.
Diaz fought against Anthony Pettis, a former UFC light weight champion, in a welterweight fight on UFC 241. Despite his inactivity, the Stockton star 'Showtime' dominated on its way to a comfortable decision victory.
Among those full of praise for Diaz, Rogan, who went so far to describe the StrikeForce and WEC veteran as the “most undervalued” star in the UFC.
“I am happy that Nate Diaz gets the love and respect he deserves,” wrote Rogan on Facebook. “I have been saying for years that he is the most appreciated superstar in the UFC selection. The roar when that man entered the Arena was unparalleled, and the fight was excellent.”
Rogan had reflected that sentiment in discussing the success of Diaz's two fights against McGregor, insisting that the American was just as responsible for pulling eyes to the rivalry as his Irish counterpart.

Nate Diaz participated three more times in the UFC after beating Anthony Pettis
After his comeback performance against 'Showtime', Diaz went to the Octagon three more times before venturing in the free desk in 2022.
All three were high-profile business and collision with Jorge Masvidal for the inaugural BMF title, a five-rounder against the then Future-to-see champion of Welterweight Leon Edwards, and a fan-favorite PPV heading event versus Tony Ferguson.
While Diaz's TKO Death Demolag Against Masvidal and decision loss for 'Rocky' endangered a losing end to his UFC Stint, the indigenous Stockton ensured a suitable farewell when he submitted 'El Cucuy' in UFC 279.
Since then he has operated his trade in the Ring and participated in a few boxing shows against YouTuber Pugilist Jake Paul and Masvidal.
Diaz remains open for a UFC return along the line, even suggesting that his time focuses on titles in MMA's leading promotion.
