I don't think they have enough functioning brain cells to complete an easy crossword puzzle.

Poirier, a high school dropout, took a jab at Diaz misspelling the word ‘allowed’ as ‘aloud’ in his initial post. “Dog I have a 8th grade education.. allowed*,” Poirier responded to Diaz on X.

After realizing he made a grammar error in his post (he wrote ‘a’ instead of ‘an’), Poirier suggested a totally different competition for him and Diaz.

“Maybe a spelling bee competition vs Nathaniel would be the hardest fight of both of our careers,” Poirier joked.

They're pot heads but the not training hard is a myth.

They like to compete in triathlons on their time off. Their cardio is unmatched.

I can barely understand him in any other interview but somehow he pulled off one of the greatest callouts of all time on the mic

Like Cowboy Cerronne. He may not be the best but he is fun to watch and will fight anyone

It's weird the Diaz bros had weak takedown defense despite spending so many years training with Jake Shields and Gilbert Melendez.

The opposite of BJ Penn who had awful cardio.

I always felt like they liked fighting off of their back. Any time Nate gets hit hard he goes on his back. Nate especially always had a very offensive guard.

Sorry, wrong guy.

Overrated as frick. Biggest fake tough guy in mma. His brother was actually decent. Nate, not so much.

Feather hands and dumb as hell. If he couldn’t take a beating he would have been retired much sooner
