Here's a very anti-climactic ending to the whole Justin Bieber-Nate Diaz beef (if that's what you want to call it, which I guess I did). It started when Bieber took to his Instagram account to toast to Conor McGregor after his upset loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 196:
Some may've shrugged it off after dismissing the MMA knowledge of the 22-year-old pop star but, instead, Diaz went the opposite route and posted a cartoon of him smacking him across the face:
Last night the two bumped into each other (coincidentally?) at a Bieber after-party in a Hollywood nightclub. The lack of a handprint on Bieber's cheek in the uppermost photo suggests that it was all love. Also I took those exact words off of Bieber's own IG post:
Looks like everybody wins here. Besides McGregor. For now Temecula is still the social media beef that sets the standard.
