It appears like Dustin Poirier against Nate Diaz in the UFC still has a good chance of happening. It seemed like the fight was off the table after the UFC failed to agree to terms with the fighters.

Dustin Poirier recently spoke out on the bout that was supposed to happen a few years ago. The UFC could be working on a short-notice fight between him and Nate Diaz.

“No contract has been signed yet, but if this does go through I’m going to take it,” Poirier said on “THE FIGHT! With Teddy Atlas” podcast.” “This would be super short-notice. I already looked myself in the mirror. I spoke to my wife and my boxing coach, people I talk to regularly. I talked to my coach Mike Brown as well. They’re behind me if I decide I to take this fight, but I have to look myself in the mirror and ask, ‘Do I want to take this fight.’ I did exactly that. I looked in the mirror and I just felt good. I want to do it.”

Dustin Poirier wouldn't quite reveal who the fighter was at first. Then the UFC lightweight decided he didn't care and admitted it was Nate Diaz.

“I don’t owe these guys nothing. I’m not biting my tongue. It is Nate Diaz,” Poirier continued. “I’m not going to say a card. I’m not going to say what date. But he got on Twitter talking. This guy really fights and I’m a fan of him, but everybody’s a tough guy on the internet. He said something like, ‘Let’s do it.’ I said, ‘Yeah, sure. I’ll really fight you this month.’”

Nate Diaz has been trying to get his final UFC fight booked so he can explore his options. Dustin Poirier is looking to bounce back from his championship loss with a big-name fight.
