The Rock responds to Nate Diaz calling him out after UFC 244

“That’s the Nate we all know and love.”

The Rock smelled what Nate Diaz was cooking after UFC 244 and he apparently enjoyed it.

And yes, I do feel terrible about writing that line but let’s move on, shall we?

The former WWE champ, who is now a gigantic movie star who enjoys epic cheat meals, played a fun role in the UFC 244 main event between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz at Madison Square Garden last week.

Masvidal won the fight after a doctor got in the way and called the fight due to some cuts Diaz had suffered above and below his right eye.

After the fight, Diaz had a hilarious take on The Rock, saying that he loves “Ballers” but that the Rock “could get it, too” since he was on Masvidal’s side because the two are from Miami and are friends.

Here’s Diaz talking about that in his post-fight presser. It’s great. Also, there are some F-bombs in the video so if you don’t like curse words then shut your computer and run for the gosh darn hills:

The Rock appeared on “Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show” on ESPN on Monday and said that he loved hearing that from Diaz:

The Rock is longtime UFC fan and totally gets who Diaz is as a person, which is great and correct.

We’ll have to wait and see what’s next for Masvidal, but I’d love to see he and Diaz run it back again. But just not in New York. And don’t invite that doctor.
