Dustin Poirier vs. Nate Diaz
In what was meant to be [autotag]Nate Diaz[/autotag]’s highly anticipated return, his UFC 230 fight vs. [autotag]Dustin Poirier[/autotag] set for Nov. 3 2018 never happened.
And there was a lot of confusion in this one, from Diaz storming out of the press conference in Los Angeles, to both Diaz and Poirier tweeting that they’re not fighting on that show, to the end result, which was Poirier pulling out because of a hip injury. Poirier went on to explain that he believed Diaz was playing too many games, and that the fight may have not ended up happening, which is why he decided to undergo the surgery.
Stylistically, we were likely robbed of a “Fight of the Year” contender, but it appears that Poirier is still interested in the matchup. With the history there, the fight could end up happening sometime down the line – we hope.
