Nate Diaz has no interest in returning to the UFC at 155 pounds, declaring himself a welterweight in a recent post on social media.
“[Nick Diaz Army] soldier 170 pounds,” Diaz wrote on Tuesday. “Come get you some of the real.”
The former UFC lightweight title challenger and fan favorite then followed up with a Tweet aimed at Dustin Poirier, urging ‘The Diamond’ to jump up a weight class to settle their long-running feud outside the cage.
“These are fighting words tho. So f-ck a weight class,” Diaz posted in response to Poirier, who is seemingly open to a grudge match with The Ultimate Fighter 5 winner at 170 pounds.
