"Don't be a scared lil b***h" - Nate Diaz calls out Dustin Poirier for a fight in January; 'The Diamond' responds
Coming off of a loss at UFC 269, Dustin Poirier is a bit short of options at the moment. However, it seems like the opportunity to redeem himself against Nate Diaz has come knocking on his door.
In a recent Twitter exchange, Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier were seen butting heads. During the battle of words, 'The Diamond' seemingly agreed to fight Diaz this very month.

Although a fight between the two this year seems highly unlikely, the match-up could be an incredible fight. Dustin Poirier subsequently went on to retweet a number of posts that discussed the prospects of a clash between Nate Diaz and himself.
Both fighters look more than ready to take matters to the octagon to settle their feud once and for all. If all goes well, fans could witness 'The Diamond' lock horns with the Stockton native as early as January 2022.
