Relationship between the notions of "excellent ring" and "universally catenary Nagata ring"

Every excellent ring is both universally catenary and Nagata. How "close" is a universally catenary Nagata ring to being excellent?

Context: I have not worked very much with the notions described above. While I certainly would not turn down a counterexample, I am more interested in getting an idea of how these notions are used in practice, and when it is appropriate to use one versus the other.
