"I want Nate Diaz, how about that? Is he going to sit around and wait around for Conor (McGregor) and waste the prime of his life, the prime of his career, or is he going to throw some hands? That’s what I want to know.”Poirier is just after scoring a very impressive decision win over veteran brawler Jim Miller at UFC 208. Miller is one of the toughest fighters on the roster and beat up 'the Diamond's leg so much that he could barely walk once the final buzzer sounded. However, Poirier dug deep and emerged with his hand raised. If Diaz won't accept, he wants any top 10 fighter in the UFC's most populated division.
"I want (Diaz), and I want Michael Chiesa. I want anybody in the damn top-10 who will take the fight. Before I fought Jim, I was trying to get these guys." "I’m not going to rush into a fight here in a month, but I’m going to take the normal time. I’ll probably be out three months or so, working and getting better."Even with that generous time frame, Diaz probably won't accept the challenge. It's in the UFC's best interest to have him inside the Octagon and he knows that. He's not going to bend to their will. He's going to do exactly what he wants to do and right now, that's get paid. Until the promotion are ready to splash the cash, he's more than willing to sit on the sidelines for his third Red Panty Night.
