“I want everyone to get paid and be successful. Whether it's in this organization or another, I don't care, we're putting everything at risk. So I hope he (Nate diaz) got what he was looking for. I hope everything goes well and he gets paid. But yeah, of course, he always wanted to fight the guy. Never say never, but it feels like it’s gone,” Poirier said.
Second in the lightweight rankings, Dustin is on a good winning streak in his career with just one defeat in his five fights.
