Coming off of a fight of the night victory over Jim Miller at UFC 208, UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier is rearing to find his next fight.
In an interview with MMA junkie, Poirier said:
“I want Nate Diaz, how about that? Is he going to sit around and wait around for Conor [McGregor] and waste the prime of his life, the prime of his career. Or, is he going to throw some hands? That’s what I want to know.”
Following up on his comments, Poirier said:
“I want (Diaz), and I want Michael Chiesa. I want anybody in the damn top ten who will take the fight. Before I fought Jim, I was trying to get these guys.”
Nate Diaz has been applying for a Nevada based boxing license, so Diaz is likely looking for opportunities outside of the UFC. Nate Diaz remains one of the sport’s top stars, despite his recent absence from fighting. He is currently the only man to hold a win over Conor McGregor in the UFC.
