The UFC has a bit of a big-fight triangle brewing in their welterweight division. Conor McGregor has been adamant that he wants to fight Dustin Poirier for a fourth time, and the UFC has been happy to back him up on that idea. But Poirier says he has no interest in fighting the former double champ and sounds, instead, like he wants to make his welterweight debut against Nate Diaz sometime this summer.
And while Diaz doesn’t sound averse to the idea of taking on the ‘Diamond’, it seems his priorities lie firmly with getting a bout booked as soon as possible, so he can wrap up his UFC contract.
