Dustin Poirier’s loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 269 has opened the floodgates for prospects in other divisions. Poirier seems uninterested in a rematch or even fighting in the lightweight division altogether. There have been rumors of ‘The Diamond’ moving up to the welterweight division. And a challenger seems to be ready to face him in the form of Nate Diaz.
The 36-year-old has been pouring insults at Poirier’s direction ever since the latter submitted to ‘Do Bronx’ in their thrilling title match. Since then, both of the top prospects have been involved in a Twitter back and forth. Now, the Stockton-native has added the latest page to their conflict book with a bone-chilling message.

“Your not worthy If u wanted to fight we would have already. Bring yourself back from the dead you s*ck Dp,” Diaz said in a now-deleted tweet today as if implying that this is Poirier‘s chance to bring himself back and reclaim himself.
