Nate, who was unhappy at the UFC for not giving him big payday after the McGregor fight, acquiesced to Dana Whites demands and showed up at the UFC presser yesterday where It was announced that he will face the #3 ranked Dustin Poirier at UFC 230 in Madison Square Garden.

He had also stated via Twitter that he is not interested in fighting unless the fight is under the McGregor card.
