UFC President Dana White appeared on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” on Thursday and spoke about the latest negotiations for a Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz rematch.
According to the UFC boss, putting together a McGregor-Diaz rematch has been “a little challenging.”
“We’re trying to set up a fight right now,” White said during his appearance on ESPN on Thursday morning. “It’s been a little challenging. I’m trying to get the deal done.”
White continued, explaining that despite being the reigning UFC 145-pound champion, “The Notorious” Conor McGregor is “obsessed” with getting a 170-pound immediate rematch with Diaz.
“Conor is obsessed with this rematch. I don’t know why, but he is,” White said. “It’s just his type of personality. He’s obsessed with it. He’s obsessed with fighting Diaz again at 170 pounds.”
While the negotiations for a potential McGregor-Diaz II fight are still ongoing, the UFC President did claim that he was unsure if the fight “will ever happen.”
“I don’t know if that will ever happen,” White said. “But I’m trying.”
