After a heartbreaking loss against Charles Oliveira, Dustin Poirier has been weighing his options. He and Nate Diaz seem interested in fighting each other. While the matchup is not official, Poirier versus Diaz ought to be a huge fight. However, UFC’s bad boy Colby Covington has been talking about Poirier quite a lot.

Covington has called out ‘The Diamond’ several times. But it seems like Poirier is not interested in a fight with him. In a recent interview with ‘Submission Radio’, ‘Chaos’ spoke of Poirier’s response to his call out.

Referring to Poirier’s earlier comment of both going to jail if they fought on the street, Covington said, “Dustin, I thought you wanted to be a family man. I thought you loved your kid, you loved your wife. If you love them, then you’re not going to come fight in the streets because I’m going to leave you in a coma. You’re not going to be the same person when I drop you on your head. At least, come get paid for it. I’m not using Dustin’s name to get paid. I make money no matter who I fight.”

Similarly, he and Poirier too, have issues that started at the ‘American Top Team’. If they were to fight, it would be an intriguing one to witness.
