Nate Diaz may have lost his bout with Conor McGregor at UFC 202, but a year and a half later he’s scored a meaningful victory stemming from the event. Back in June of 2017, reports surfaced that a former agency, the Ballengee Group – which had worked with both Nick and Nate Diaz – was suing the younger half of the 209-based duo for more than $1 million.
Their lawsuit claimed that Diaz had broken an agreement surrounding negotiations for UFC 202’s bout with McGregor, and left the agency unpaid for work including negotiations for bouts against Rafael Dos Anjos and Michael Johnson.
