Many consider the sport of mixed martial arts to be very violent. Naturally, in a sport where two people hit each other, some beef between the two is expected. However, fighters don’t just get into a beef with their opponents. Sometimes, they can get into a tussle with a celebrity. Such was the case when a UFC fighter had a tussle with famous singer Justin Bieber.

The feud started when Nate Diaz fought Conor McGregor at UFC 196. Diaz defeated the Irishman via submission in round 2. While McGregor had a lot of backing, Diaz surprised everyone in the crowd with that victory.

Following Diaz’s victory over McGregor, Justin Bieber showed his backing towards ‘The Notorious’ publicly. In a post, Bieber said, “No bandwagon but Conor is a true champion, fights with style and finesse, all the respect to Nate but his style is terrible. Nate has crazy heart respect.”

The Stockton-born fighter was quick to respond to Bieber. In an interview, Diaz said, “Bieber, don’t watch the sport; he don’t know the sport,” Diaz said. “I’ve seen a couple other people too, Drake, all these other guys that are stating their opinion. How are you going to state your opinion when you don’t know s**t? You’re just showing your lack of knowledge on the sport.” Diaz also shared an animated image of him slapping Bieber.
