Nate Diaz recently made headlines for a hilarious Instagram story where he can be seen punching the poster of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for no apparent reason as the people around him share a laugh. Additionally, Nate Diaz tagging a literal rock in the story also left the fans chuckling. Watch the video below.
The former lightweight title challenger and the currently welterweight contender never fails to entertain his fans, and this time around it wasn’t a fighter who was on his radar but rather a former professional wrestler and Hollywood actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
It’s not like Nate Diaz and the Rock share a beef with each other, but in the past, the Stockton Slugger had called out the former WWE professional wrestler in the aftermath of his BMF title fight with Jorge Masvidal.
What is the history between Nate Diaz and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson?
Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal shared the UFC Octagon for the BMF belt back in November 2020 inside Madison Square Garden. The limelight was also shared by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who came out in support of both the fighters and to award the BMF belt to the winner. However, Diaz claimed in the post-fight interview he did not like the Rock taking Jorge Masvidal’s side while at the same time being nice to him.
“F*** The Rock too man, that motherf***** over here playing me. See him over there smiling with Masvidal. Should have had Mike Tyson handing out a belt if anybody. I don’t give a f*** about no belt anyway. But he can get it too,” Nate Diaz said.
Rock had later replied to Nate, saying the Stockton native understands that his support towards Jorge Masvidal was completely justified as both Masvidal and Dwayne hail from Miami, Florida.

An emotionally charged Nate Diaz fired back at the Rock as well, however, he did clarify that he was caught at the wrong time and that there was nothing personal with the Hollywood actor.
Needless to say, the recent video is definite to irk some fans of the Hollywood star, who is incredibly popular and has a huge fan following. On the other hand, it was a hilarious video by Nate Diaz who certainly won the heart of his fans with his antics.
