The contest ended between the third and fourth rounds when the doctor deemed Diaz&#8217;s cuts too severe for him to continue fighting.<\/p>\n<p>After this fight, Diaz briefly called for a rematch with Masvidal, keen for a more decisive ending. Poirier, meanwhile, called for a fight with Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>Poirier and Diaz were scheduled to fight in late 2018, also in New York City. Regrettably, this fight was cancelled at the last minute. Initially, the understanding was that Poirier was forced out of the fight with an injury. More recently, however, &#8220;The Diamond&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/dustin-poirier-shares-the-whole-truth-about-cancelled-nate-diaz-fight\/\">claimed<\/a> that he withdrew from the fight when negotiations between Diaz and the UFC got rocky.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Diaz] wanted it he just couldn\u2019t come to terms with ufc,\u201d Poirier wrote on Twitter. \u201cThey offered us the main event at msg but he would only agree if it was on his terms. I was tired of playing games with the guy and that\u2019s when i decided to address a injury I had been dealing with. Now you all know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd thats the whole truth with me and Nate situation \u2026.also I jumped the gun when news came out that he failed a test. He\u2019s always been a guy who pushed for clean eating and clean sport. I shouldn\u2019t have. Doesn\u2019t change the fact that I still want to beat his ass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Nate Diaz is really retiring?
