Dustin Poirier answers the call to fight against Nate Diaz at UFC 300
Dustin Poirier has agreed to fight Nate Diaz at UFC 300. The possible clash got attention after Diaz expressed his excitement for UFC 300. He did so while complaining about the lack of a good opponent. Poirier, never one to back down from a challenge, answered quickly, setting the setup for an exciting clash.
Following a defeat to Justin Gaethje, Poirier is keen to make a victorious return. He views Diaz as the ideal opponent to rekindle his climb to the top of the lightweight category. Dustin Poirier eagerly entered the fray by responding to Diaz’s tweet. This is what he had to say:

“Don’t be scared, homie” is an iconic line uttered by Nate’s brother, Nick Diaz. Poirier used the iconic line to fire back at Diaz’s claim that no one was there to compete against him.
Because of their history, the possible Diaz vs. Poirier clash is much more intriguing. Both fighters were supposed to battle each other at UFC 230 in 2018. However, the fight was canceled due to Poirier’s hip injury. Both athletes have voiced a desire to settle the score inside the octagon since then. This had added a layer of unfinished business to the potential fight.
