ONE Championship lightweight contender, Eddie Alvarez has laid claim to gold across the likes of BodogFIGHT, Bellator, and the UFC across his eighteen-year, and has predicted that either previous foe, Dustin Poirier or the surging, Charles Oliveira will be the next lightweight kingpin of his old UFC stomping-ground.
Alvarez, who is currently preparing for a high-stakes, potential title-eliminator against former title challenger, Iuri Lapicus in April at ONE on TNT I — may earn the opportunity to challenge current kingpin Christian Lee for the lightweight championship with a victory.
Set to make his return for the first time in over eighteen-months, Alvarez got off the mark at the second time of trying under his new banner — stopping former two-time gold holder, Eduard Folayang via a first round submission. Debuting under the Chatri Sityodtong led promotion back in March of 2019, Alvarez dropped a devastating knockout to Timofey Nastyukin at ONE Championship: A New Era.
With current undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov remaining firm on his stance to retire following his October win over Justin Gaethje — Alvarez picked either Poirier or Oliveira to emerge strapped with gold after the reign of Nurmagomdov comes to an end, or at the turn of the new year.
“I think Dustin’s (Poirier) probably gonna end up with the belt,” Alvarez said during a recent interview with LowKick MMA reporter, Jordan Ellis. “I think either Dustin or (Charles) Oliveira — either one of them.“
Earning his lightweight championship shot during his UFC run, Alvarez took decision wins over former Strikeforce 155-pound titleholder, Gilbert Melendez, and former WEC and UFC lightweight best, Anthony Pettis. Battling then-champion, Rafael dos Anjos during International Fight Week back in the summer of 2016, Alvarez entered the fight as a considerable underdog — before clinching the title with a first-round barrage, stopping the Brazilian with strikes at the fence.
Nate Diaz had some strong words for Dustin Poirier after he was the latest to turn down his fight offer.

Nate Diaz had some strong words for Dustin Poirier after he was the latest to turn down his fight offer.
Diaz hasn’t fought since he went toe-to-toe with Jorge Masvidal for the BMF Title in November 2019. He has recently been hinting at making his comeback, but finding a willing dance partner has proven to be a difficult task. He initially called out top lightweight contender Charles Oliveira, but that was quickly shot down by the Brazilian’s coach. That caused Diaz to turn his attention towards Poirier, but he now appears to be on track towards a third fight with Conor McGregor.
Apparently upset with the lack of top-ranked opposition willing to face him, Diaz took to Instagram to vent his frustration. In a post featuring a picture of him choking out McGregor, Diaz took aim at Poirier and UFC president Dana White.
“Don’t forget who started this G s—,” Diaz wrote in the caption. “The Real uncrowned King. No rematches ever given. Dustin you do what your told by your daddies u lil b—-.”
A fight between Diaz and Poirier was originally expected to take place at UFC 230, but never came to fruition. After knocking out McGregor at UFC 257, Poirier said Diaz was one of the fights he had his eyes on. However, recent reports make it appear that he is solely focused on completing his trilogy against McGregor. He even took to the Instagram post to have a little fun with Diaz.

Diaz has made it clear in the past that he is only interested in taking big-money fights at this point in his career. With arguably the top two draws on a collision path with each other, it will be interesting to see who, if anyone, the UFC could entice Diaz with. There are a number of top lightweight contenders without a fight at the moment, but they appear more interested in fighting each other than Diaz. Will Diaz be willing to take a fight against a lower ranked fighter in hopes of making a statement? Only time will tell.

Headline: Nate Diaz Curses Out Poirier & Points Out Rematch Double Standard
Nate Diaz was not happy to read the news about the trilogy fight between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor being targeted for this summer.
Earlier today, UFC President Dana White revealed that the UFC is targeting Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor 3 for the summer. One of the reasons behind this move is because White confirmed what the public already knew: both Poirier and McGregor are on board with fighting one another again. Nate Diaz got wind of the big news and laid into Dustin Poirier in vintage Diaz fashion:
“Don’t forget who started this G shit. The real uncrowned King. No rematches ever given. Dustin you do what your told by your daddy’s u lil bitch 
,” Diaz posted on Instagram.
Dustin Poirier would reply to Nate Diaz’s remarks in the comments section, writing “You lost the rematch Nathan. 1 was given lol.”
Unbeknownst to Poirier, his response supports a point that Diaz made earlier this week in an interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani. Diaz argued that there is a double standard between himself and Conor McGregor, with the Stockton bad boy pointing out that McGregor is granted rematches seemingly upon request after suffering a loss while he has never received the same courtesy.
“What I’m trippin’ off of, too, is the rematch shit,” Diaz began. “Like, they always try to roast my record, too. I got 11 losses. And they want to talk about how I got all these losses, right? And I tried to rematch all those losses. Never would they even consider or talk about it. Like, ‘Don’t even ask. You lost.’ And 95% are all decision losses that were hard-way lost. Most of them I won. So why was it so out of the question for me to have a rematch with somebody?

“But this guy gets finished by me, he gets a rematch. He gets finished by Khabib, they build up the whole fight (with) Dustin Poirier for a rematch for him and Khabib,” Diaz continued. “And then, he lost to him, and now they’re talking about rematch. This guy just gets rematches? That’s crazy.”
For his next fight, it wasn’t a rematch that Diaz was after. He called out Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira, only to get shunned by both. Diaz did receive a callout from Leon Edwards today, but Diaz claims not to know who he is.
