Both Poirier and diaz have expressed their interest to fight each other on numerous occasions!

Needless to say, with a lot of back and forth on Twitter, fans are beginning to doubt whether both the fighters really want to fight each other.

It's the nature of the sport. Arrow

However, that's not the case with Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz!

Responding to a fan on Twitter, Poirier stated how the delay in booking the fight is actually UFC's fault, and neither of the fighters are ducking each other.

Do you think we will ever see Nate Diaz vs Dustin Poirier inside the UFC Octagon?
