Poirier then came with a final call to Diaz on making sure if he wants to have it, this time on Twitter.
This fight is a treat for the fans, both casuals and hardcore. The fight based on styles is exciting too, no matter the resume difference from the victories and skillsets of both the fighters. With Diaz known as one of the elite submission artists of the ground, you cannot count out the chance of him getting Poirier in trouble as Poirier as the latter has shown major susceptibility to submission attempts.
On standing, both the fighters like to keep high volume boxing over their opponents till it tires their opponents out and then they can go for the decision or possibly a TKO victory. Diaz’s boxing is unique to figure out, but Poirier is an amazing counter puncher as well. Who do you get it winning if the fight happens?
