Last week it was reported that Dustin Poirier had been ruled out of his highly anticipated lightweight bout with Nate Diaz due to injury.

On Monday, Poirier went into the details of his injury, revealing that he had suffered an injured hip and intended to get a second opinion from a doctor.

‘The Diamond’ updated fans on social media last night and explained that he will not have to undergo surgery. Poirier will undergo stem cell injections, instead, and hopes to be back training at ‘100%’ in just three weeks.
