A fan favorite Stockton native could soon return to the Octagon, as a call out from Nate Diaz to Dustin Poirier was made over Instagram on Sunday.
“I’m training to whoop ur ass next,” Diaz wrote as a caption to a photo of him and Poirier. “Be about it don’t talk about it.”
Poirier and Diaz were slated to fight in November 2018 as the main event of UFC 230. The fight fell through when Poirier suffered a hip injury, though Poirier said Diaz “over-negotiated.”
“They wanted to switch it to five rounds, man, it was just so messed up dude,” Poirier told the MMA Hour after the bout fell through.
