In 2007, Nate Diaz submitted Gray Maynard to win The Ultimate Fighter 5 and exclaimed "I'm rich" at the end.

The victory netted him roughly $16,000 and as Diaz explains to Andy Nesbitt in a Facebook Live interview, he wanted to use the proceeds to purchase a Cadillac for himself and a house for his mother.
