Ahead of his UFC 279 headliner tonight against rescheduled foe, Tony Ferguson, fan-favorite veteran, Nate Diaz criticized the promotion’s sneaker partnership with former professional wrestler, The Rock – mocking the shoe’s design in an interview with the promotion’s broadcast partner, ESPN.
Diaz, who enters his final contracted fight with the organization, was initially scheduled to headline UFC 279 against the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev in ‘Sin City’, however, the Chechen-born fighter’s staggering seven and a half pound weight miss, forced the headliner’s cancellation.
Nate Diaz remains in tonight’s UFC 279 main event
As a result, Diaz, whose contractual obligations with the promotion come to an end following UFC 279, will now share the Octagon with former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson at the welterweight limit – over the course of five rounds.
Chimaev remains on the card despite his glaring weight miss, however, moving to a co-main event slot against Kevin Holland at a catchweight limit of 180lbs, while Li Jingliang now tackles Californian striker, Daniel Rodriguez.
Speaking with ESPN during his post-ceremonial weigh-in with Ferguson, Nate Diaz criticized the promotion’s sponsorship deal with The Rock and Under Armor, in a segment which was subsequent cut from his interview with UFC roving reporter, Megan Olivi.
“These shoes f*cking suck,” Nate Diaz said while holding up his shoes to the camera. “Look at these shoes, they (the UFC) made me put this sh*t on. F*ck these shoes.”
The promotion recently confirmed a partnership with The Rock as well as Under Armor to provide sneakers to fighters on their roster, however, as per reporter, John S. Nash – fighters will not receive any percentage of revnue as part of the sponsorship.
“Asked around and not only are fighters not going to get paid anything to wear the shoes, the UFC is apparently requiring fighters to do interviews with (Dwanye) Johnson’s (The Rock) media company, Seven Bucks,” Nash tweeted.

WWE icon and movie star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson believes that Molly McCann has a championship title run in her future.
McCann has been taking the UFC fandom by storm, delivering on back to back spinning elbow finishes in her past two bouts. Both of those matches took place in England, and the arena erupted both time when she finished her opponent.
McCann is currently on an impressive three fight winning streak, and looks to continue her recent success in her next match against Erin Blanchfield. The two will be facing off at UFC 281, which takes place at MSG this November. The card has an extremely compelling matchup, as Alex Pereira will challenge Israel Adesanya for the Middleweight title. The two have met twice in kickboxing, both wins going to the Brazilian.
‘The Rock’ posted about ‘Meatball’ Molly McCann’s potential future on Twitter
‘The Rock’ originally posted about McCann on Instagram when she TKO’d Hannah Goldy in her last bout. She landed a spinning elbow that ‘The Rock’ called “The People’s Elbow”. The same name that he had given one of his signature moves in the ring. “The People’s Elbow” was known as the most electrifying move in sports entertainment, as he would rip his elbow pad off and sail it into the front rows of the arena.
When McCann’s business partner “Barstool Sports”, ran an article on ‘The Rock’s’ Instagram post, he decided to quote tweet it and leave even more praise for McCann.
“Strong chance we’ll hear #AndNew connected to @MeatballMolly’s name in the future. #peopleselbow #meatballelbow.” ‘The Rock’ tweeted out.

‘The Rock’ is an avid MMA fan, as he even strapped the title around the waist of Jorge Masvidal, after he defeated Nate Diaz to earn the “BMF” belt. ‘The Rock’ also tweets out about big events and his reaction to fights in real time. He congratulated Leon Edwards after he sparked Kamaru Usman at UFC 278 to become the new welterweight champion.
Most incredible and (at times) unpredictable sport in the world.
Which to me, is what makes it amazing.
Doesn’t matter if there’s 2min left or 2 seconds left in the fight. You never know where that KO can come from. Congratulations @Leon_edwardsmma on making history. #AndNew— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) August 21, 2022

Former WWE champion and actor, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, has shouted out Molly McCann following her sensational knockout win this past Saturday.
The UFC’s fastest-growing female star, Molly McCann, almost blew the roof off the 02 on Saturday when she produced a highlight real knockout, for the second time in four months. McCann would stun her opponent, Hannah Goldy, with a right hand before she would land the critical blow, using her now signature spinning elbow.
Following the win, McCann would make a request of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson via social media, asking the former WWE champion if she could ‘borrow’ the ‘People’s Elbow.’ The People’s Elbow was one of Johnson’s signature moves during his time as a wrestler and is one of the most well-known finishing moves in wrestling.
“@TheRock” McCann said. “Excuse me Mr Rock, but can I keep borrowing the peoples elbow. It’s doing me bits.”
It wouldn’t take long for Johnson, who is a huge UFC fan, to respond to McCann, giving her permission to keep using the ‘devastating’ people’s elbow:
“From the ELECTRIFYING People’s Elbow to the DEVASTATING People’s Meatbow Its all yours! Keep kicking ass and having FUN, champ!
Much respect, Mr Rock.”
From the ELECTRIFYING People’s Elbow to the DEVASTATING People’s Meatbow

Much respect, Mr Rock— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) July 25, 2022
Its all yours! 
Molly McCann’s New Found Fame
McCann is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable names in the UFC, especially on UK and European soil.
Her exciting cage performances and her lovable character paired with her friendship with Paddy Pimblett has elevated her to new heights of fame. In the space of a few months, McCann has become a legitimate star. ‘Meatball’, along with her pal Pimblett, will now go stateside and fight on massive cards, likely finding themselves on the main card of a PPV – the sky really is the limit for the Scousers.
Paddy and @MeatballMolly are friend goals
