Drake Unveils Favorite UFC Fighter: ‘Just Crazy’

Drake, a longtime combat sports fan, revealed Nate Diaz as his all-time favorite UFC fighter despite his relationship with Conor McGregor, expressing admiration for Diaz’s authenticity and respect for both Nate and Nick Diaz.


Drake and Conor McGregor? They’ve had a bit of a bromance over the years. But guess what? Conor’s not Drake’s top pick in the octagon.

Recently, during a festive live stream on his Kick channel, the four-time Grammy winner was asked about his favorite UFC fighter. Drumroll… It’s Nate Diaz! Yes, the same guy who gave McGregor his first UFC loss. A twist of fate, huh?

Drake explained, “OK, I’m going to answer this question strictly based on who, to me, you just can’t get more thorough than this guy.” He’s all about authenticity — where you’re from matters more than the bling or the wins.

“So to me, it’s Nate. That’s my favorite fighter because Nate is just crazy, through and through [being from Stockton],” he added. You gotta love that raw Stockton grit!

Drake’s been a combat sports fan for ages. Remember when he joined McGregor on the press tour for that epic boxing match with Mayweather in 2017? Good times! He’s also known for placing hefty bets on UFC fights. Ever heard of the “Drake curse”? Yeah, that’s a thing in betting circles.

But at heart, Drake’s just a fan of the fight game. He holds deep respect for both Nate and Nick Diaz. Those brothers are legends in their own right.

“Of course I have other favorite fighters,” Drake confessed. “I love Conor with all my heart…”

“Nate’s going to be one of those people [where] Nate’s going to Nate. I respect the Diaz brothers. Shout out to them.” That’s Drake keeping it real.
