Nate Diaz expressed his support for Mike Tyson after the legendary boxer claimed streaming service Hulu "stole" his story.
Tyson continued to speak out against the Disney-owned subscription app after its decision to move forward with his biopic series without paying him. The iconic boxing superstar fired off a series of tweets directed at Hulu.
Check out Mike Tyson's tweets below:
Hulu stole my story. They’re Goliath and I’m David. Heads will roll for this.
Hey @hulu I’m not a n****r you can sell on the auction block #slaveryisover #fuckhulu
Hulu’s model of stealing life rights of celebrities is egregiously greedy #headswillroll
Diaz caught wind of Tyson's message and joined the boxer's crusade in protesting against the media giant. On Twitter, the UFC superstar posted a screenshot showing the former boxing champ's tirade, with the caption, "F*** you [Hulu]."

On Thursday, Tyson released a statement to Entertainment Tonight after the producer of documentary series MIKE claimed that Tyson couldn't be involved in the project because of rights issues:
"[That's] a flat out lie. My life rights option expired years ago. Hulu nor any of their supercilious team ever tried to engage in any negotiations with this Black man. In their eyes I am still just a n----r on the auction block ready to be sold for their profit without any regard for my worth or my family," Tyson wrote.
The 56-year-old boxing Hall of Famer added:
"They say this story is an exploration of a Black man. It's more like an exploitation of a Black man. Hulu thinks their tracks are covered by hiring Black sacrificial lambs to play the part as frontmen for their backdoor robbery is appalling. I will always remember this blatant disregard of my dignity."
Tyson’s latest post came after he posted another tweet, praising UFC president Dana White for apparently refusing to promote the Hulu series.
