Read our privacy policy Dustin Poirier has ruled out a bout with Nate Diaz at UFC 300, as he continues to target a place on the historic fight card in April. Poirier has expressed his desire to compete at UFC 300, which is due to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on 13 April, but he has dismissed the suggestion that he could face Diaz – whom he was first set to fight in 2018. It’s January- Give us a name!” to which the 34-year-old replied: “No it ain’t happening.” Poirier vs Diaz fell through in late 2018 when the former suffered an injury, and Diaz – who had not competed in the UFC since 2016 – did not return to the Octagon until August 2019. Poirier, also American, has fought McGregor three times, losing to the Irishman by knockout in a 2014 featherweight contest but reversing that result at lightweight in 2021.
