Dustin Poirier responds to Nate Diaz's comments with fire

Dustin Poirier has responded to Nate Diaz's comments following 'The Diamond's recent Twitter altercation with McGregor.

'The Diamond' recently got into an online feud with former UFC double champ Conor McGregor. Both fighters seemed to agree on a fourth match in the octagon to settle their scores.

Reacting to the Twitter brawl between the two lightweights, former UFC fighter Nate Diaz mocked McGregor and Poirier. The 'Stockton Slugger' claimed that they get "knocked out all the time":

Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier were expected to face off against each other in the octagon earlier this year. However, the promotion pulled the plug on the fight, and the fight failed to come to fruition.

Diaz went on to fight Tony Ferguson in his final UFC fight at UFC 279, securing a fourth-round submission victory over 'El Cucuy.'

Michael Bisping discusses potential Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 4

During the post-fight presser following their trilogy, 'The Diamond' had stated that he would not take a McGregor fight for the fourth time. He that he had already defeated the Irishman twice in their three faceoffs. However, the 33-year-old fighter had not completely ruled out a fight for the fourth time if it was "just for money."

On a recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast, Bisping, alongside Anthony Smith, discussed the potentiality of a McGregor vs. Poirier for the fourth time.

Giving his take, the UFC analyst believes it will be a good comeback fight for the Irishman:

​

"That's a good fight for Conor to come back to. Simply stylistically. I mean listen, Dustin will probably more than likely box his head off because he's been struggling with his form recently... And he just snapped his leg. And he's been out for quite some time, and that's a negative. He's getting older. He's enjoying the spoils of his riches. It all adds together in the pot."
