Diaz (21-14) faced Perry at Most Valuable Promotions “Rousey vs. Carano” last weekend in Los Angeles. Diaz had no answers while taking a brutal beating from Perry. Perry left Diaz a bloody mess, forcing his corner to throw in the towel at the end of the second round.
Poirier (30-10) was unimpressed by Diaz’s performance against Perry. To Poirier, it looked like Diaz didn’t want to be inside the cage after returning to MMA for the first time since 2022. While Poirier and Diaz were scheduled to fight twice in the past, the matchups never came to fruition due to various reasons. Despite Poirier’s retirement last year, “The Diamond” is open to a return only for a matchup against Diaz. Regardless of Diaz’s underwhelming performance against Perry, Poirier is still interested in fighting the Stockton, California, native and promises to knock him out clean.
No Time for Talking
“After the way he looked on Saturday night, he can’t talk right now,” Poirier said on Deep Waters. “He needs to get some sleep and some rest. He looked like dogs—t. He looked like he didn’t want to be in there, looked like a punching bag, looked off balance, his timing was horrible… My invitation is still out there. At 170, I will go back in the drug testing protocol. I will knock Nate Diaz complete out.”
