"Like the liberty bell" - Dustin Poirier claims he will be the one to crack Nate Diaz's chin

Dustin Poirier seems to fancy his chances of finishing Nate Diaz in a potential fight.

Ever since falling short in his lightweight title shot against Charles Oliveira, 'The Diamond' has been linked to a bout with the younger Diaz, who has only one fight left on his current UFC deal.

The two stars were originally set to square off at UFC 230. However the fight had to be canceled after Poirier was forced to withdraw due to an injury.

Interestingly, Diaz recently indicated that he'd rather take on 'The Diamond' than have a rubber match with Conor McGregor. Dana White also revealed that he was open to making the fight happen.

When a Twitter user asked Dustin Poirier if he'd be the one to finally crack Nate Diaz's chin, the 33-year-old wrote:
