Ultimate Fighter 5

In 2007, he made his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut on the fifth season of the reality television series “The Ultimate Fighter.” The season was based on lightweights, with Diaz fighting on the team of Jens Pulver. In the preliminary round, he beat Rob Emerson, and in the quarterfinals defeated Gray Maynard. He faced Manvel Gamburyan in the finals and won by submission after Gamburyan was forced to tap out due to an injury.

Start of UFC Career

After his victory on “The Ultimate Fighter,” Diaz had achieved success in the UFC by defeating such opponents as Alvin Robinson and Junior Assunção. He also demanded more challenging foes, leading to a match against Kurt Pellegrino at UFC Fight Night 13. In the fight, Diaz won via triangle-choke submission. He faced and defeated Josh Neer at UFC Fight Night 15. In 2009, he had his first UFC loss against Clay Guida at UFC 94. He was more successful as the headliner at UFC Fight Night 19, where he defeated Melvin Guillard by submission to a guillotine choke.

In 2010, after losing three times in four fights, he decided to move up in weight class. He went on to make his welterweight debut at UFC 111 against Rory Markham. After the weigh-ins, the fight was changed to a catchweight match. He gradually won by TKO in the first round. After that, he decided to compete in both weight classes. In a welterweight match at UFC 118, he defeated Marcus Davis by choking him unconscious via a guillotine choke submission.

He then sat out another year, returning in December of 2015 to face Michael Johnson. He then won the fight by unanimous decision. The next year, he fought and defeated Conor McGregor at UFC 196. Winning by submission, the match gave him his ninth submission victory in the UFC, tied for second-most of all time.
