Nate Diaz reacts to Conor McGregor’s loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 257

As expected, Nate Diaz didn’t stay silent for long on how Saturday’s light headliner went in Abu Dhabi.

In the main event of UFC 257, Dustin Poirier avenged his UFC 178 knockout loss to Conor McGregor with a dramatic finish to cap the promotion’s third trip to Fight Island in 2021. “The Diamond” stopped McGregor in the second round for the biggest win of his career and is probably gearing up for a lightweight championship opportunity.

Diaz, who became the first to finish McGregor in UFC at UFC 196, took to Twitter on Sunday to give his quick reaction to McGregor’s first knockout loss in the promotion.

The Stockton native hasn’t competed since UFC 244, when he fought Jorge Masvidal for the “BMF” belt and lost by doctor save in the main event. Diaz didn’t have much to say throughout the preparation for the fight, but he stepped in after the very respectful confrontation between the attendees at the main event on Friday.

Diaz has always been attached to McGregor as one half of one of the sport’s most important rivalries. In their first of two encounters, Diaz replaced an injured Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of UFC 196 and submitted the former two-time champion in the second round for his biggest career win. McGregor rebounded five months later at UFC 202 and got a very close split decision in the rematch.

While a trilogy fight with McGregor seems like one of the more intriguing options following the second loss in three fights for “The Notorious,” Poirier also expressed interest in fighting Diaz at the post press conference. – Saturday night fight.
