Dustin Poirier has criticized Nate Diaz's performance against Mike Perry, suggesting that Diaz has lost the right to talk trash after his poor showing. Diaz faced Perry at "Rousey vs. Carano" in Los Angeles, where he suffered a brutal beating and was forced to concede after the second round. Poirier, who has previously been scheduled to fight Diaz but never faced him, remains open to the matchup and promises to knock out the Stockton, California, native. "After the way he looked on Saturday night, he can't talk right now," Poirier said on Deep Waters. "He looked like he didn't want to be in there, looked like a punching bag, looked off balance, his timing was horrible. My invitation is still out there. At 170, I will go back in the drug testing protocol. I will knock Nate Diaz complete out."
