As far as Nate Diaz is concerned, he holds a victory over Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n

The stage was set for a lightweight showdown between Diaz and Poirier at UFC 230. The bout was scheduled to take place back in Nov. 2018. Poirier was forced off the card due to an injury<\/a>. “The Diamond” questioned whether or not the bout would’ve even taken place had the injury never occurred as he implied that Diaz was being difficult during negotiations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Diaz said he doesn’t buy Poirier’s injury and had some strong words for “The Diamond” (via LowKickMMA.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201c[It didn\u2019t happen] because Dustin Poirier pu**ied out is what happened,\u201d Diaz told ESPN. \u201cWe were supposed to fight and there was whatever going on with me and the UFC was happening because they were f*cking with me or I was f*cking with them, however they want to say it, but he jumped out of the fight because he couldn\u2019t deal with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe couldn\u2019t sleep at night, Diaz continued. “I\u2019m like, \u2018why are you even worried about me? You\u2019re supposed to be a fighter, don\u2019t worry about what I got going on. I\u2019m showing up to fight you. Why did you pull out and why is no one asking you that? Why are you getting a title shot?\u2019 That\u2019s a win for me.”<\/p>\n

Diaz went on to say that it doesn’t matter if the fight didn’t take place, he feels Poirier took a loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI already beat him. If me and you are supposed to meet for training tomorrow, for jiu-jitsu or boxing or MMA or whatever \u2014 we have an appointment. We\u2019re going tomorrow at seven p.m. and we\u2019re going to train. Me and you. And if you get a f*cking stomach ache or your tooth ache or your hair or any of that or something ain\u2019t right or your girlfriend\u2019s mad and you don\u2019t make it to seven o\u2019clock, you lost, dude.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t make it, you can\u2019t cut it. Straight up, that\u2019s a L. Justify it however you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nate Diaz is set to meet Anthony Pettis this Saturday night (Aug. 17) in the co-main event of UFC 241. As for Poirier, he’ll take on Khabib Nurmagomedov in a lightweight title unification bout on Sept. 7.<\/p>\n

Both UFC 241 and UFC 242 will air live on pay-per-view, exclusively through ESPN+. Confused on how to watch the events? Head over here<\/a> for all the details you need.<\/p>\n
