White: Nate Diaz is not interested in fighting

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 27, 2018, 2:48 p.m.

UFC President Dana White lamented about the reluctance of one of the main stars of promotion Nate Diaz to return to the octagon.

"We offered Nate Diaz a fight. You can not just state your willingness and then just reject all proposals. We've been offering him fights since his last appearance in the cage, but Nate is not interested in this.

"I do not know why Diaz makes all these statements. I have no idea what kind of fight he wants. We understand that if Conor McGregor was available, then Nate would have accepted this fight. Unsurprisingly it's a money fight with six zeros," White said.

Diaz junior last time appeared in the Octagon in August 2016, when he lost to Conor McGregor by majority decision. Three months earlier, Diaz shocked the world of mixed martial arts, sensationally beating McGregor.
