Nate Diaz rips ‘lil b*tch’ Dustin Poirier for taking trilogy with Conor McGregor

Nate Diaz appears to be displeased that his callouts of Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira have fallen on deaf ears.

Diaz (20-12 MMA, 15-10 UFC) recently spoke out and mentioned the names he’s interested in fighting this year. Oliveira, who was one of his choices, said thanks but no thanks. Now Poirier (27-6 MMA, 19-5 NC UFC) appears to be headed into a trilogy match with Conor McGregor this summer.

This doesn’t seem to have sit well with Diaz. Friday, he ripped into Poirier, McGregor and UFC president Dana White in one fell swoop (via Instagram):

Don’t forget who started this G sh*t
The real uncrowned King
No rematches ever given.
Dustin you do what your told by your daddy’s u lil b*tch 👊🏼

Diaz was scheduled to fight Poirier once at UFC 230 in November 2018. The matchup never materialized, but after Poirier knocked out McGregor in their rematch at UFC 257 last month, Diaz came calling.

Poirier said Diaz was one of the few fights in the game that interested him after beating McGregor, but instead all signs to him running it back with the Irishman for a deciding rubber match.
