If anyone deserves a shot it is Ferguson. Other than that, the one that excites me the most is Nate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I think lightweight is the perfect fight for him. But, if a big fight could happen at welterweight, I think he would jump on it. If a Nate Diaz fight materialized at 170 or 155 he would be all about that,&#8221; he added. &#8220;155 is the best weight for him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>If the UFC makes this fight, they would need to wait for Dustin Poirier <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/khabib-nurmagomedov\/dustin-poirier-sidelined-due-to-looming-hip-surgery\/\">to recover from his hip surgery<\/a>. According to Lambert, Poirier is almost ready.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Poirier had a surgery done to clean up his hip and he is in recovery. I think he will be ready to start training sooner rather than later. I think he will be ready to be in a camp soon, but it depends on what is out there,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And, you look at the way the guy fights, who wouldn\u2019t want to see Dustin Poirier fight. He has that style and every fight is a Fight of the Year candidate. I would expect it to be a big name and a big fight.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lambert has no idea whether or not the UFC wants to re-book Diaz vs. Poirier but he believes it is the fight to make at lightweight or welterweight.<\/p>\n<p>Would you be interested in seeing Dustin Poirier vs. Nate Diaz be re-booked?<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 11\/27\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz were expected to fight at UFC 230 in late 2018.
