Dustin Poirier Says UFC Rejected Nate Diaz Zuffa Boxing Crossover

Poirier said he pushed for a boxing match with Diaz under the Zuffa Boxing banner, but UFC officials shut it down. “They don’t want any crossover,” he said, suggesting the promotion wants boxing credibility without opening the door for more roster requests. Retired from MMA but still under UFC contract, Poirier said boxing remains the post-fight move he wants most.
