Dustin Poirier will Fight Nate Diaz at UFC 230 on Nov. 3 at Madison Square Garden. Nate Diaz has not competed since UFC 202 in August 2016 when he lost in his rematch to Conor McGregor by majority decision.
This is purely a fight for the fans and the UFC probably offered Dustin a bunch of money to take a fight that does nothing for this title short.
I think Dustin is going to nuke Nate as Dustin will not have to worry about any wrestling. Granted Nate is a monster off his back but Dustin is just going to back away and keep it standing.
Dustin has money to gain and a title shot to lose. If he loses to Nate the chances for his title shot go up in a puff of smoke.
