Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock was a piece of shocking news for everyone. While Smith publically apologized to Rock, this is an incident that will be remembered for a long time. In the wake of this incident, UFC fighter Nate Diaz posted something similar on his Instagram account.

Fans are aware of the video where Nate Diaz was seen slapping UFC President Dana White. According to reports, the slap was White’s idea, and the video went quite viral.

While the incident is old, the Smith-Rock slap scene at the Oscars has reminded several people, including Nate Diaz, of this video. Hence, the fighter posted the video on his social media.

Several fans in the comment section compared the Will Smith incident to Diaz slapping White. The Diaz brothers are known for their unusual fighting styles in the octagon. Their ‘Stockton Slap’ is one of their famous moves. So while the Oscars incident is still a hot topic, UFC fans cannot help but find similarities between the two.

Diaz also retweeted the video on Twitter. This got many more people talking about it.

Diaz remains one of the most popular fighters in the UFC. However, he has openly expressed his wish to move ahead from the UFC. He has been fighting professionally since 2004 and while he has never been the UFC champion, his style, and several great fights have successfully helped him stand out.

As of now, the Stockton Slugger is coming off two losses. He desires to fight soon.
