Nate Diaz showed zero interest in running back the BMF fight with Jorge Masvidal after his loss at UFC 244 main event fight. However, his elder brother Nick Diaz claimed that he is the real BMF and Jorge Masvidal just fought his baby brother for the BMF title. However, nothing has been confirmed yet by the UFC and there is suddenly Dustin Poirier’s name popping up after an interesting callout through Twitter.
UFC: Dustin Poirier wants to team up with Jorge Masvidal
In a recent tweet, Dustin Poirier claimed that he wants to team up with Jorge Masvidal against the Diaz brothers in 2020 and it has already caught the attention of UFC fans. In the tweet, Dustin wrote: Nick and Nate vs Me and ‘Gamebred’. The idea of the match-up seemed interesting because UFC always had one-on-one matches and if Dustin Poirier’s wish comes true, it will be something innovative, just like the one-time BMF belt.

The BMF champion, Jorge Masvidal liked the idea too and gave it a green signal from his side. Jorge Masvidal won all three fights, he fought this year with spectacular knockouts and Dustin Poirier’s idea did not shock him at all. The BMF wrote: 'I co-sign on this and put 10k on my boy #superneccesary.'

UFC: Dustin Poirier vs Nate Diaz
Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz are two great veterans of UFC who have never fought each other inside the octagon. UFC fixed the match-up between them in the past and the duo even had an intense face-off but Nate Diaz pulled out from the fight last time. Both, Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier have lost their last fights and Poirier wants to face Diaz in 2020 along with a teammate in Jorge Masvidal.
