Dustin Poirier slams Nate Diaz’s performance against Mike Perry

Dustin Poirier has publicly criticized Nate Diaz's recent performance after Diaz suffered a brutal defeat at Most Valuable Promotions' "Rousey vs. Carano" event in Los Angeles. Diaz, fighting at welterweight against Mike Perry, offered little resistance and was battered throughout their bout, ending when his corner threw in the towel at the end of round two. Poirier, speaking on the Deep Waters podcast, said Diaz "looked like dog—t" and appeared disengaged during the fight. The criticism comes as Poirier continues to pursue a matchup with Diaz at 170 pounds, stating he is willing to re-enter USADA's drug testing protocol to make the fight happen. Poirier's callout suggests Diaz's recent poor showing has opened an opportunity for one of the UFC's biggest names to challenge him outside the octagon.
