However, the main event contender, Nate Diaz, was less than impressed with the decision and threatened to &#8216;whoop the a**&#8217; of the Hollywood and WWE celebrity.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018BMF\u2019 bout between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz ended anti-climatically as the doctor stopped the contest in the third round due to cuts above the right eye of Nate Diaz. By this point Masvidal had maintained a dominant position and ultimately claimed the TKO win.<\/p>\n<p>Both fighters were disappointed by the early finish, especially Nate Diaz. \u2018The Stockton slugger\u2019 is famously known for his endurance and didn\u2019t feel he had the opportunity to showcase his potential. During the post-press conference, he also laid into &#8216;The Rock&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s on that side, f*ck him,\u201d Diaz said, insinuating that Johnson was biased towards Masvidal.

He should have been the one over here (handing over the belt).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m over here hurting on The Rock, huh? You guys caught me under a bad time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Rock\u2019s cool, I like Ballers but he picked the wrong side, so he can get it too, he can get his a** whooped too, straight up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018West Coast gangster\u2019 highlighted that &#8216;The Rock&#8217; is from the same side of town as his opponent. He smiled nonchalantly as he said \u201cF*ck you\u201d aimed at the megastar.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst Diaz might not approve of the newly appointed \u2018BMF\u2019 belt giver, the welterweight fighter has bigger fish to fry including a potential rematch against Masvidal or a <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/conor-mcgregor-reacts-to-nate-diaz-vs-jorge-masvidal-at-ufc-244\/\">trilogy fight against Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you want to see Nate Diaz fight next?
