But the 47-year-old’s display didn’t convince former UFC star Diaz, who tweeted: “Your [sic] all on payroll.”

Diaz’s tweet included a video of the late Tupac Shakur saying: “What I want people to know is don’t support the phonies, support the real.”

The Stockton slugger’s legion of followers were quick to comment, with one saying: “Nate Diaz knows what’s up.”

Another said: “Real recognize real.”

And another said: “Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking this.”

One remarked: “Straight shooter tell them that it is.”

Diaz, 37, was involved in a backstage melee with members of Paul’s team, one of whom he slapped in the face.

Paul said: “Nate Diaz was here acting like a bitch.
