Puryear has named his next desired opponent

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Porier once again emphasized that he would love to take a fight with Nate Diaz.

"I'm in communication with the UFC. We discussed the option with Nate Diaz, but it's hard to negotiate with him. The UFC doesn't want to get into that story. For a fight like that, I would sign a contract even today. Nate knows that. I've agreed to fight him several times. And he knows that every time our fight was canceled - it's Nate's fault," saidPorier in an interview with John Anik.

Recall that on June 1 at UFC 302, Puryear failed in his third attempt to become a full-fledged champion, losing by choke to Islam Makhachev.
