Diaz has never held back on anything. He says, does, and acts the ways he wants and isn’t afraid of confrontation as well. This was made clear to everyone in a video shot not so long ago. In 2017, Stockton’s own was walking around with his entourage when a group of hecklers started chanting at him. They were shouting out Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s name to taunt him. What did he do? Casually flipped the bird at them, while laughing the chants off.

However, it was all in good humor, as he was seen taking selfies with some of those fans as well. According to many, Diaz is one of the nicest guys in the industry. He rarely says no to the fans for photos and appreciates their time.
