After the main event of UFC 244 ended with Jorge Masvidal winning the “BMF” belt over Nate Diaz due to a cut stoppage, Diaz took aim at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson during the post-fight press conference. Diaz said that he’s a fan of The Rock’s show “Ballers,” but that “with all due respect, he can get it too.” This was in response to Johnson being friends with Masvidal.
“I wasn’t surprised at Nate’s comments because that’s the Nate we all know and love,” said Johnson during Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. “He is as advertised. He gets it. He knows that me and Jorge [Masvidal] are boys, we’re from Miami, we have a lot of deep connections down there … so there’s a connection. I was totally fine with it. He gets it.”
