“Talking all that sh*t about steroids. F*ck you, Nate. Pulled out. You pulled out of my fight too. You a b*tch. Fake ass gangster.”

There’s certainly no love lost between Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz.

Both men were expected to collide in a co-headlining lightweight bout in 2018, but Poirier pulled out of the fight due to injury.

That was what was officially reported but, in a recent Instagram post, ‘The Diamond’ alleges that Diaz was the one who backed out of the fight.

Poirier launched a tirade against Diaz after it was revealed that the Stockton local had tested positive for trace amounts of a prohibited selective androgen receptor module (SARM), and that his highly anticipated ‘BMF’ title fight with Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244 was in jeopardy.

“Talking all that sh*t about steroids. F*ck you, Nate. Pulled out. You pulled out of my fight too. You a b*tch. Fake ass gangster,” Poirier said following surgery (h/t Jed Meshew of MMA Fighting).

Diaz soon got word of Poirier’s comments and fired back at the Louisianan with the following scathing Instagram post.

Diaz has not been suspended but the MMA veteran refuses to fight “until UFC, USADA or whoever is F—KING with me fixes it.”

UFC 244, which was expected to feature Diaz vs. Masvidal as the main event, takes place next month, Nov. 2 at Madison Square Garden, New York.
