UFC fighter pay has been a contentious topic for many years now. One byproduct of this is that fighters are increasingly looking to launch businesses in an effort to supplement their income when not competing in the cage. Unsurprisingly, some efforts have been more successful than others.

Typically, the more popular a fighter is, the better their business performs. This has become evident due to the success experienced by the likes of Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal's ventures in the world of business. When done properly, these types of endeavors can be incredibly lucrative for the fighters involved.

The company boasts a wide range of CBD oils, hemp flowers and CBD pre-rolls. While it may not be as visible as some of the other fighter-owned companies on this list, the Diaz brothers' loyal fanbase undoubtedly supports the project in force.

Inside the cage, both men's futures remain uncertain after they each fought in 2021. Nate appears as though he may soon be competing outside of the UFC, while Nick currently seems more to continue to fight inside the octagon.
