Unfortunately for McGregor and the UFC, Nate Diaz has other ideas and is now proving to be a major stumbling block in the deal. After demanding that Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta give him Conor treatment and come to him with the offer. He then allegedly couldn’t agree financial terms with the promotion.
Rematch against Conor McGregor was discussed, but source tells me they could not come to financial terms today.

This caused Dana to storm out of the building and it looks now as though, the UFC are back to the drawing board. Dana will want to avoid setting a precedent yet again, by folding to the demands of the troublesome pair but it looks likely that the fighters will earn more for this than any fight in MMA history.
Hopefully all parties can come to an agreement soon and we can enjoy the biggest red panty night yet.
