Dustin Poirier Says Nate Diaz Pulled Out Of UFC 230 Before He Did, Says He’ll Fight Anybody
Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz were scheduled to fight late last year at UFC 230, but then Poirier pulled out of the bout due to a hip injury.
The fighter says that although he did pull out of UFC 230 with an injury, it was actually Diaz who pulled out first.
Poirier revealed this during a series of tweets on Twitter after responding to a comment:
He pulled out before my hip was injured. The fight wasn’t happening. https://t.co/NJMt2EpbNc

A ready to return Poirier also revealed that he would be willing to fight anybody if the price is right:
I’m ready just waiting to see what the boss wants to do https://t.co/Q8ifmjO86Z

I want a shot at gold. I’ll do anything it takes to get it but I’m a prize fighter if the prize is right I’ll fight anyone.
I’ve been in Florida for a few weeks working on my craft. Hopefully in the next week I get something booked

I have a lot of respect for Max. It would be a fun fight but I will never fight at 145lbs again. https://t.co/Zfhdhv5e55

It should be noted that neither Poirier or Diaz are booked for a fight at the moment, meaning the duo could still face off in the Octagon.
