"I think if Nick is gonna do anything, it’s gotta be big. We don’t need to do this." Diaz’s time on the sidelines has irked his legion of fans, who are desperate to see the


Stockton native have a rubber match with McGregor. According to UFC president Dana White, the 33-year-old’s time away from the Octagon is entirely his own doing. “We've offered Nate


Diaz five or six fights over the last several months and he's turned them all down,” White said during an appearance on UFC Tonight. “I’ve said many times that I don't see Nate


Diaz fighting. Will he fight this year? Maybe he'll come out and say he wants to fight eventually. “But no. He's turned down every fight we've offered him.” At this moment in


time, Diaz isn't thinking of having a trilogy fight with McGregor, recently telling ESPN's Brett Okamoto: "He's just living his life right now and he's got a


magnifying glass on him, whatever he's doing "I don't give a f**k what he does. "I'm sure he's up and down. 'Do I want to be in these lights? Why am I not


in these lights? "'I need to get in the lights. I need to get out of the lights.' It's a crazy roller coaster."
