In a bad phase and close to the end of his contract with the UFC, Greg Hardy opens up about the possibility of leaving

“I’m not going to make a mystery of it. AND Nate diaz (who you want to face next). I'm not going to say which card, what the date. He said: 'let's fight'. I replied 'yes'. Now, I'm waiting for him”, said Porier, in an interview with 'The Fight WTA'.

In December 2021, Dustin saw the chance of reaching the absolute top of the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg) slip away for the second time in his career. In 2019, the North American had already lost the opportunity when he faced Khabib Nurmagomedov in a duel to unify the title.

Now, Poirier is willing to return to action in a duel that could represent new financial success. Last season, before the defeat to Do Bronx, the 'Diamante' had two clashes against Conor McGregor, which earned the athletes considerable figures.

Further away from the title, Dustin is currently second in the lightweight group. Keeping an eye on Diaz, the fighter did not say in which category the fight could be held.
