The promotion signed a multi-year deal with The Project Rock by Under Armour. Since then, fighters are asked to wear Under Armour shoes during media appearances and weigh-ins. However, according to reports, the UFC fighters don’t benefit from this deal.
While in an interview before UFC 279, Diaz was wearing the same shoes. He showed it to the camera in the middle of the interview and chastised the shoes. However, the segment was cut from the original ESPN interview.
What are your thoughts on Diaz’s interview? What do you guys think about Diaz’s Instagram post? Will he go to the WWE?
