It is safe to say that WWE Superstar turned actor Dwayne Johnson has acquired an unmatched degree of popularity and respect. Coworkers and collaborators regard ‘DJ’ with utmost respect not only as a global celebrity but also as a person. There aren’t many individuals that don’t like or appreciate ‘The People’s Champ’, and UFC Superstar Nate Diaz is one of them.

The 37-years old MMA great is in the headlines as he is all set for his match against Tony Ferguson at UFC 279. Meanwhile, Diaz caught the eyeballs of the fans for once again taking shots at Hollywood Megastar.

For those who are not aware yet, Khamzat Chimaev was initially supposed to fight against Diaz. But when Chimaev failed to meet the weight, Ferguson had to step in. Prior to UFC 279, in a brief chat with Megan Olivi, Diaz discussed the last-minute opponent switch and shed some additional light on his fight.

One of the things that were cut from the interview was when he made fun of The Rock’s Under Armour sportswear brand, the UFC’s current shoe partner. Meanwhile, this is now trending on Twitter. The section of the interview that was cut out was when he lifted his leg, pointed to the shoes, and said, “These shoes f***ing s**k. Look at these shoes they made me put this sh*t on.”

Is The Rock the Richest Actor?

Although he didn’t specifically target The Rock, he attacked his brand since he wasn’t impressed with its standard. Diaz was not happy about it as allegedly fighters are apparently not paid to wear those shoes. And thus, the history between Diaz and Johnson, who had a verbal altercation earlier, continues.

The quarrel between Nate Diaz and Dwayne Johnson

The conflict between the two started when UFC President Dana White assigned The Rock to introduce the belt during a major fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244 for the first BMF championship. Moreover, after losing against Masvidal, he got furious at The Rock.

Diaz goes off during the post-fight news conference about The Rock supporting Masvidal. He stated: “He’s on that side. F*** him. I’m on the West Coast side. Mike Tyson should’ve been here, anyway. He’s the baddest man on the planet, right?… He should’ve been the one over here.”
