Former UFC stars and icons, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, re-ignited their rivalry in their post-UFC careers in a rematch last year. This time, it was outside the Octagon and inside a boxing ring. Both fighters were promised hefty paychecks by the organizer, Fanmio, with Diaz signing a deal for a purse of $9 million and Masvidal for $7 million. However, they never received even half of what they put pen to paper for.

This resulted in lawsuits being filed by both former UFC fighters against Fanmio and its chief, Solomon Engel, and now, we finally have an update on the matter. Just a few days ago, Jorge Masvidal won his lawsuit as Fanmio was ordered to pay him $5 million to settle the issue. ‘Gamebred’ did not get the $7 million that was promised, and it appears that the same has happened with Nate Diaz as well.

Nate Diaz forced to settle for less than the promised $9 million purse

When Nate Diaz signed the deal to fight Jorge Masvidal, which he won, he may have been promised $9 million, but the full amount was $10 million. The Stockton native received a million dollars initially before the fight, so he was seeking the rest to be paid as well. Well, a report from Menace MMA claims that the arbitrator ruled the verdict in his favor, but only for $6 million.

Fanmio made some claims regarding Nate Diaz that he did not fulfill his media obligations, which could be a reason his demands weren’t met. But despite the arbitrator’s ruling, the $6 million settlement has yet to get approval from a federal judge. It remains to be seen when that approval gets done and Diaz receives the money that he claims he rightfully deserves.

Apparently, this lawsuit against Fanmio isn’t the only legal battle Nate Diaz has found himself engaged in recently. While this one turned out to be in his favor, even though he did not get the full amount, the other one cost him a five-figure sum. If you’re wondering what that lawsuit was, well, it involves Logan Paul‘s lookalike. Let’s take a look at that front.

Diaz paid more than “30 grand” to Logan Paul’s lookalike

Just like his famous rival Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz has also made a lot of headlines, even though he is not in the UFC anymore. While some headlines were related to his fights against Masvidal and Jake Paul, some were related to his scuffles outside the fighting realm and in the streets. A couple of years ago, he found himself getting into an altercation with Jake’s brother Logan’s lookalike, named Rodney Petersen, where Diaz choked him out. This led to a lawsuit against him, which the Stockton native claims cost him a bit.

“I was attacked. I just finished the attack. I’m a counter-fighter… If you’re f—ing on me, I’m like, ‘F— you,” Nate Diaz stated on The HJR Podcast. “I was winning, but it was gonna just go forever, and I was gonna pay more in lawyer fees. So I just ended up paying him 18K because my lawyer bills were up to 17K. It cost me like 30 grand.”

Well, losing 30 grand may not hurt Nate Diaz too much since he’s going to get $6 million from the Fanmio lawsuit. Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
