Dustin Poirier vs. Nate Diaz is a fight that somehow never happened, despite both men showing interest in it.
The two were booked at UFC 230 but it didn’t come to fruition, as both men claim the other pulled out. However, at UFC 279, as Diaz was booked to face Khamzat Chimaev, Poirier, who was in Louisana at the time said the UFC called him to fly to Vegas and fight Diaz on 24 hours’ notice.
Dustin Poirier said he agreed to take the fight, but the UFC ended up going in a different direction.
