The 35-year-old American (20-12), who has fought at lightweight and welterweight with the promotion in the past, has not fought since losing to Jorge Masvidal via third-round doctor’s stoppage for the ‘BMF’ belt in 2019.
Diaz clearly took issue with last weekend’s UFC 257 headliner between Poirier and McGregor:
“U [McGregor] and Dp [Poirier] just got choked on ur face the other day by a guy that ran off and didn’t want none especially wit me, how u gonna fight for a title?” Diaz tweeted, alluding to Khabib’s (29-0) retirement from MMA last year. The Russian submitted Poirier in the third-round in 2018, McGregor in the fourth round in 2019, and Justin Gaethje in 2020 before announcing his retirement.
“I been here 14 years and no one can do me like that ever in life .. lol lightweight division.”
