Nate Diaz Dustin Poirier UFC

Former interim UFC lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier has responded to hints from former promotional contender, Nate Diaz that he withdrew from a scheduled fight with him during their respective Octagon tenures, urging the Stockton native to explain the circumstances as to why they never fought. 

Poirier, the current #2 ranked lightweight challenger, has yet to return to the Octagon since he featured on the main card of UFC 281 back in November at Madison Square Garden, submitting Michael Chandler with a third round rear-naked choke.

Snapping a two-fight losing skid in his most recent Octagon walk – which marked the end of his tenure with the UFC, Diaz submitted former interim champion, Tony Ferguson with a fourth round guillotine choke back in September of last year. 

Dustin Poirier responds to Nate Diaz in heated comment

In the time since his UFC departure, Diaz has been linked with a multitude of potential fights in his next combat sports venture, however, claimed he landed a further trio of UFC victories over former lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev, and the aforenoted Dustin Poirier – much to the dismay of the Lafayette puncher.

“I’m 3-0 in the UFC against Cumshot (sic) [Khamzat Chimaev], Kabib (sic) [Khabib Nurmagomedov], and Dustin Porier (sic) [Poirier] do (sic) to them being scared pussys,” Nate Diaz tweeted. “Sleep with that.” 

“Shut ya b*tch ass up, tell the truth about our match up hoe,” Dustin Poirier tweeted in response to Nate Diaz.”

Poirier and Diaz appeared to be on a collision course for UFC 230 at Madison Square Garden back in 2018, however, neither side failed to ever officially pen bout agreements for the targeted fight.

Poirier was also linked continuously with a fight against Diaz last year prior to his November return against Chandler, however, the UFC elected against booking the duo together in a long-awaited grudge match.

Jon Jones Rampage Jackson

Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton Rampage Jackson has slammed former opponent and fellow former 205lbs champion, Jon Jones – labelling the incoming heavyweight championship challenger as the dirtiest fighter of all-time.

Rampage, a former undisputed light heavyweight champion under the UFC banner, headlined UFC 135 back in 2011 against Jones, eventually suffering a fourth round rear-naked choke in their undisputed title fight.

Last competing professionally under the Bellator MMA banner back in December 2019, Rampage suffered a one-sided first round knockout loss to Fedor Emelianenko in Japan, and has yet to return to mixed martial arts competition since. 

As for Jones, the former two-time undisputed light heavyweight champion is scheduled to headline UFC 285 on March 5. in a heavyweight division debut against former interim titleholder, Ciryl Gane – as the duo vie for vacant heavyweight gold. 

The outing will come as Rochester favorite, Jones’ first at the heavyweight limit in professional mixed martial arts, while it will also mark his first Octagon walk since February 2020, where he defended his light heavyweight championship in a questionable decision win over Dominick Reyes. 

Rampage Jackson labels Jon Jones as the “dirtiest” fighter ever

Receiving flak from numerous opponents in the past for constantly racking up fouls against them, Jones has been criticized recently by the above-mentioned, Rampage, who labelled the former as the dirtiest fighter in mixed martial arts

“Jon Jones is a great fighter,” Rampage Jackson said during an interview with Chris Van Vliet. “Even if he was standing in this room I would say it, but he is the dirtiest fighter ever. The guy is so smart. He does the most dirtiest things.”

“If you’re doing anything good on him, he’s going to poke you in the eye,” Rampage Jackson said of Jon Jones. “If you’re advancing or doing anything good or you get the advantage, he’s going to kick your knee backwards.”
