AndyWang Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Sweet, link an article which is unavailable in Europe only because i like you stehilton Nate Diaz will return to the UFC octagon after more than a two-year absence Nov. 3 at Madison Square Garden for an expected firefight of a stand-up bout against destructive puncher Dustin Poirier, the Los Angeles Times learned Thursday. The lightweight bout will serve as the co-main event at UFC 230. Stockton’s Diaz (20-11) has participated in the main event of two of the most lucrative UFC pay-per-view cards in history, first by taking a March 2016 fight against Conor McGregor on less than two weeks’ notice to submit him in the second round. Then, after Diaz and his fighter brother, Nick, engaged McGregor in a bottle-and-can throwing exchange during a pre-fight news conference, he lost to McGregor by decision in one of the most thrilling bouts in the organization’s history. The asterisk to that was that the jujitsu-schooled, boxing-trained Diaz basked in the riches of the pay-per-view dollars, opting to remain sidelined until another fight capable of generating a massive purse emerged. He balked at participating in Saturday’s UFC 227 at Staples Center against former two-division champion Georges St-Pierre, with a representative saying Diaz felt that St-Pierre was his brother’s rival, and then St-Pierre fell ill. Now, Diaz, 33, returns on the third version of an MSG November card that has also performed well in pay-per-view sales dating to McGregor’s 2016 knockout of Eddie Alvarez to win the lightweight belt and last year’s show headlined by St-Pierre’s comeback and stoppage of then-middleweight champion Michael Bisping. Louisiana’s Poirier (24-5) has risen to No. 3 in the UFC lightweight rankings by winning eight of his last 10 bouts. One was a no-contest last year that Poirier answered Saturday by knocking out Alvarez in the second round of the UFC Fight Night event in Calgary. Poirier has won three fight-of-the-night bonuses and a performance-of-the-night bonus in his last four fights, which have included knockouts of hyped prospect Justin Gaethje and former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis. The card will also include a rematch between former middleweight champions Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold. In December 2015, Rockhold (16-4) defeated New York’s Weidman (14-3) by fourth-round technical knockout to capture the middleweight belt in Las Vegas. The fights will be formally announced Friday at a UFC seasonal news conference at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles.

PlatinumClegg Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 HAHAHAHAAHA All of that time on the shelf, pining for McGregor and you get Poirier in a CO-MAIN slot. He'll probably make like $250k lololol Yeah what an idiot. Fighting in a co-main for a quarter million... who is this guy's manager?! Dana is praying Conor will beat Khabib and Nate beats Poirier so there's a 3rd Diaz fight for stakes that actually matter. Khabib is going to kill Conor and Poirier easily beats Nate. He's so drawn out at lightweight he might get knocked out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should make 80 million dollars and only accept fights with Conor McGregor... repeatedly.

Jolldan Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Got to agree taking two years out then returning against Dustin doesn't sound right if Nate's after big money fights. I like Dustin in this fight just because he's been more active and I don't see him getting as tired as McGregor did against Nate so can't see Nate getting much of a chance to overwhelm him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
