Hope he's a decent favorite going into this, because I'm very confident that Diaz is going to win.

He's a good banger but he has never done well against southies at all. Johnson, Mcgregor.... hell he even struggled with Miller a little bit, really he should have merked Jim. Diaz is a proper southpaw. His boxing is overrated but it's still good, he can take huge amounts of damage, and he is very good at using his range. Really the only thing that favors poirier is that it's a three rounder.

Its def a tough fight for him, I hope he pulls it off but Diaz is so damn durable he probably wont be able to put him away.
Edit - thought it was a 5 rounder!

Poirier will probably look good early, but Diaz' range, durability, and volume striking will wear on him.

Don't mind it since him vs Conor/Khabib winner is great.

I suppose he'll be ready once the dust has settled from Khabib vs Mcgregor/Poirier Diaz. I'm pretty sure that if Mcgregor wins they'll do Conor vs Diaz III for the belt, but if Khabib wins, there's more of a chance he'll get a shot at the strap because that fight has been a pricktease for a long time and a lot of people want to see it.

Dustin doesn't seem to like it either.

I guess they want to be on the Vegas card.

Poirier is just messing around man, trolling Diaz without him even realizing it. Diaz who knows probably thinks he should fight Mighty Mouse or DC next who knows.
It'll be 27 months since Nate's last fight and he's 3-4 in his last 7.
Poirier is arguably next in line. 8-1 w 1NC since his move to LW.
