Dustin Poirier: Nate Diaz 'looked like dog sh*t' vs. Mike Perry

Dustin Poirier is torn about the idea of fighting Nate Diaz after his performance against Mike Perry at Rousey vs Carano on Netflix. Diaz (21-14) was battered for almost the entirety of 10 minutes by Perry (15-8) on Saturday before the corner stopped it after Round 2. Afterward, Diaz rejected any calls for retirement and said he won't walk away "crying" in a shot at Poirier, who hung up his gloves last July.

Poirier and Diaz have been talking about fighting each other for years. They were officially scheduled in November 2018, but it didn't happen. Since then, the pair have offered conflicting takes about why it didn't come to fruition.

"The Diamond" has said the only matchup that would bring him out of retirement is a grudge match with Diaz, and even though he still stands by it, he admits the showing against Perry diminished the appeal. "We could've fought. He knows that.

I wish he would be honest with the fans and say that he pulled out or didn't come to terms with the UFC or whatever it was for the couple times we were supposed to fight that it never happened," Poirier said on Paramount's "Deep Waters" podcast . "But, dude, after the way he looked on Saturday night, he can't talk right now man. You need to take a break.
