Before UFC 227, the organization put together its 25th anniversary press conference to announce of a bunch of highly anticipated fights. Fans roared in approval when Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor was announced. Nate Diaz — scheduled to fight Dustin Poirier — did not.
Diaz didn’t mince words. He tweeted “f*k the UFC”, claiming he wouldn’t perform at UFC 230. Poirier (playfully) joined in on the indignation. When reporters caught up to Diaz, he minced meaning but didn’t mince words.
“You tell me if everything’s alright with Diaz,” White said.
