UFC Champ Nate Diaz’s Message for Justin Bieber and His Reaction to Retirement Rumors

Earlier today, UFC champion Nate Diaz sat down with “Extra’s” Charissa Thompson at Universal Studios Hollywood, where he chatted about his newfound fame after his huge win against Conor McGregor at UFC 196 last weekend.
After Diaz’s win, Justin Bieber took to social media to voice his displeasure by posting a pic of McGregor and writing, “Still the champ.” Diaz sent a message to Bieber, chatted about plans for a rematch, and laughed off retirement rumors.

playingdablues if punching a guy until he can't walk and then choking him out is what you call riding his coat tails, then alright, I am ok with that, and I am sure Nate is too. He got his pay check and his due respect.

[@ashleyandrade3129]

+playingdablues Conor is a showboating diva. I can't even take that guy seriously, I can't even watch a single interview with that idiot

[@ruckdane]

+playingdablues No, if you knew anything aside from McGregor (it's obvious you don't), you'd know that the Diaz brothers have always been some of the most popular fighters among fans, but they've both just hovered around #5 and been the guy to beat to get a title shot. Keep in mind everyone wanted to see the Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz fight as the choice when he came back.. The Diaz bros have had a following for a longggg time.

Between UFC 196 and 202 in the middle part of 2016, Nate was on top of the world. Hollywood was knocking on his door even though he ain't no actor and just a kid from Stockton. I always go back to this interview to reminisce those legendary days.

[@ruckdane]

It was inevitably going to happen (Conor losing), and I'm glad it was one of the Diaz's, they train hard, fight hard, and get paid next to nothing for their troubles. He's caught the break he needed and now he's the shot caller, not just picking up the phone and hearing "Well, we have this guy who`s really tough and we want him to beat you to prove he`s good, you cool with that?"
