It didn’t take Dustin Poirier long to discover what it’s like to ride the Diaz roller-coaster.
Less than a day after the UFC announced Poirier’s marquee matchup against Nate Diaz for UFC 230, Diaz made headlines when he stormed out of the UFC’s 25th Anniversary Press Conference in Los Angeles during the promotion’s reveal of the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor mega-fight. Diaz then ranted to reporters outside the venue and fired off an ominous tweet that declared, “I’m not fighting on that show fuk the UFC,” which led to similar joking tweet from Poirier.
