All week long, Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier have been active on social media, trying to convince UFC President Dana White to make their UFC 230 fight an inaugural title bout at 165 pounds . One person who’s not impressed – at least not with Diaz – is former Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight title holder Ben Askren . On Thursday night, Diaz was at it again, tweeting a photo of himself with another call for the UFC to create a 165-pound division. 165lbs don’t be scared .. @ufc @danawhite pic.twitter.com/JiSzABeQxG — Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) September 28, 2018 165lbs don’t be scared .. @ ufc @ danawhite Askren (18-0) saw that tweet and issued some harsh insults to Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) with a retweet .
