"He is the Twitter GOAT" - Sean O'Malley lauds Nate Diaz's Twitter game after Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira call outs
Sean O'Malley has lauded Nate Diaz's Twitter game after he took a dig at both Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira in the same post.
A few days ago, Poirier revealed on The Fight with Teddy Atlas that he had agreed to fight Diaz on short notice in six weeks' time but contracts haven't been signed.
The Stockton native in turn trolled 'The Diamond' via Twitter. Speaking to co-host Tim Welch on the TimboSugarShow podcast, O'Malley opined that Diaz's tweets are hilarious.
"Nate said I just talked to UFC. I asked what is up with the DP fight. I want to fight asap. But they say Dustin s**ks and they do not want it. Sorry Dustin, you s**k. Hope to fight asap though. Let's do this. P. S. Oliveira you suck too. He is the Twitter GOAT, bro. His tweets are the best. They are so funny," said O'Malley.
