Dustin Poirier gets into it with ‘fake-ass gangster’ Nate Diaz

There’s certainly no love lost between Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz.

Both men were expected to collide in a co-headlining lightweight bout in 2018, but Poirier pulled out of the fight due to injury.

That was what was officially reported but, in a recent Instagram post, ‘The Diamond’ alleges that Diaz was the one who backed out of the fight.

Poirier launched a tirade against Diaz after it was revealed that the Stockton local had tested positive for trace amounts of a prohibited selective androgen receptor module (SARM), and that his highly anticipated ‘BMF’ title fight with Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244 was in jeopardy.
