Dustin Poirier wasted little time in responding to former UFC lightweight title challenger Nate Diaz tonight on social media.
The two lightweight contenders have been trading barbs online ever since it was announced ten days ago that “The Diamond” had been forced out of their scheduled UFC 230 co-headliner with an injury.
“The Stockton Slugger” took to Twitter earlier in the evening where he called Dustin Poirier’s injury “mysterious”, while adding that he was “going back on tour until the game mans up“.

“This guy mysteriously pulls out with no injury and it’s crickets from the whole roster ? I’m going back out on tour till the game mans up.. Shoutout to @GamebredFighter hes down respect 💪🏼👊🏼” – Nate Diaz
Diaz’s remarks did not sit well with Dustin Poirier, as “The Diamond” quickly responded with the following scathing messages.
Tell the truth how you were playing games. Let's rebook it after my recovery. You're a ho

Apparently calling Diaz a “ho” was not enough for Dustin Poirier, as the native of Louisiana followed up that statement by adding that Nate was a “fake ass gangster” in a second post.
I see straight through that fake ass gangster shit bro. You fucking with a real one. Trust that @NateDiaz209
