Dustin Poirier Nate Diaz

Dustin Poirier is not a fan of Nate Diaz‘s recent antics on social media, and he has responded with a subtle callout of the UFC fan favorite via a recent post on his Twitter page.

Poirier is fresh off his win over Conor McGregor at UFC 264 via doctor’s stoppage and is widely expected to face Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title for his next appearance in the UFC octagon. Poirier was supposed to fight Diaz at UFC 230 but the fight fell through with both men accusing the other of being the primary reason for pulling out of the contest.

Poirier has had plenty of issues with Diaz’s trash-talking online and took the opportunity to call out the Stockton native on Twitter.

“Nathan?” Poirier tweeted.

Diaz recently lost to UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards at UFC 263 earlier this year by unanimous decision, despite a late flurry that nearly gave him the win. Diaz replied to Poirier’s taunt just hours later.

“Let’s fight don’t be scared this time though,” Diaz tweeted.

Diaz recently taunted McGregor on social media as well for his performance against Poirier at UFC 264, saying that he intends to show the Irishman how to beat Poirier in the UFC octagon. Diaz has previously stated that he intends to remain active to wrap up 2021 but he doesn’t have a fight scheduled as of right now.

Poirier is expected to fight McGregor in a fourth bout between the two rivals in the future, as all but confirmed by UFC president Dana White in multiple interviews. He’s also called out Diaz for a fight ever since he beat McGregor in their second bout at UFC 257.

A fight between Poirier and Diaz would definitely garner the attention of fans, but it would have to be at welterweight as Diaz has previously stated he’s done cutting down to 155 pounds. Regardless of not having a title on the line, it would be a big fight for both men to enhance their star power in the UFC.

Michael Chandler Advises Dustin Poirier To Wait For Conor McGregor

Michael Chandler thinks Dustin Poirier should sit out and wait for Conor McGregor to recovery from his leg injury instead of moving on to fight Charles Oliveira for the undisputed lightweight title.

‘The Diamond’ squared off against McGregor for the third time at UFC 264 last month. Unfortunately, the fight came to an inconclusive end when ‘Notorious’ suffered a nasty leg break just before the first frame came to a close.

The former dual-weight UFC champion is currently healing up after undergoing surgery to repair his fractured tibia and fibula. McGregor is not expected to return to fighting before the summer of 2022.  

In the meantime, Poirier is expected to be the first challenger to the new lightweight king. Oliveira picked up the 155lb title recently vacated by Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 263. ‘Do Bronx’ survived a tough first round before stopping Chandler early in round two.

During a recent interview with Helen Yee, the former Bellator champion explained why Poirier should sit out rather than try to realize his dreams of becoming a true UFC champion.

“If I’m Dustin Poirier I’m just waiting for Conor 4, you know? I am,” Chandler said. “This was an interesting hot take that I actually heard Jesse ON FIRE talking about that if Poirier goes and wins the title, can Conor come right back and fight Poirier if he has the title? Crazier things have happened.”

“But if I’m Poirier I’m waiting out and waiting for Conor 4, especially after he said numerous things about my wife and my kids and killing me, all that kind of stuff,” Chandler added. “But I also know, and this is a testament to Poirier as a competitor, he wants to win the ultimate prize in mixed martial arts. He’s been an interim champion, but he hasn’t been a full-fledged 100% undisputed champion. So I think the competitor in him will go fight Charles Oliveira, but there’s a part of me that says he may as well just wait out and get the big money fight in Conor.” (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)
