Dana White talks about UFC 200 and how Conor was "obsessed" with the rematch aganist Nate.

[KazDibiase]

"After the fight, Lorenzo and I went up to Conor's house that he was renting here in Las Vegas and started talking about, ‘what are you thinking, what's next?' And he was obsessed."

"Obviously Lorenzo and I tried to argue with him and say let's go back down to 145 and defend your title, or if you really want the Diaz fight that bad, do it at 155. And he wants to fight at 170. Even his coach, Coach (John) Kavanagh), tried to get him to get off this rematch and off the 170-pound fight, but it's what he wanted."


"Conor McGregor is a guy who has had fights fall out seven days before he's supposed to defend his title, and he steps up and he takes on all comers, The guy fights anybody, anywhere, anytime. He's stepped up on late notice and done the these things. He wants this Nate Diaz fight? We'll give it to him. We'll make Frankie and Jose for the interim title, and whoever wins that fight will then fight Conor McGregor for the 145-pound title."


"Win, lose, or draw against Nate Diaz, he will go in and he will fight either Jose or Frankie, Whoever wins at (UFC) 200."

Whatever

I highly doubt Dana and Lorenzo argued against Diaz vs McGregor II after the success it was even with a late replacement. They are hoping to make even more money since they have more time to generate more publicity.

Cloner is obsessed with the idea of beating Nate. Unfortunately, he's in denial as to why he lost. He's citing energy and size, when in reality, he should be focusing on skill-sets and diversity.

I can't wait for the pre-fight talk. It's going to be very interesting. If Cloner starts talking smack, Nate's give no fucks attitude will obliterate him on the dais, lol.

There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Some people never learn.

Conor is used to get in the head of his opponents, now Nate has a timeshare in Conor's head.

 

[NYCBrawler]

Obsessed to get embarassed again??? The guy really believes his own BS..
lol.. I actually know a few people who read the same book he did. They all go nuts like this..

 

[yaheyyosurveysays]

Its the biggest selling fight they have right now. Conor lost already so they dont care if he loses again. As long as they make bank. Can't really fault them, got in it to make money.

 

[Hardkore]

Once again Dana underestimating the fans, sell that bullshit to filthy casuals.

 

[Large Hound 77]

I'm ok with this fight going ahead. The last one was fun and this one will be too. Plus seeing Diaz give it to him royally in the build up is a big time bonus....

 

[OrigFan255]

I commend Conor for his desire to avenge his loss but wonder why he never pushed Dana for Duffy 2?

 

[LiquidSnake]

LoL what kind of a Circus is the UFC running? Conor is basically running the Show now

 

[Themonsoon]

Yeah right Dana.

Please tell us what you will try to do to give McGregor unfair advantages in the rematch.

 

[Teefs]

Pfft.

 

[Ceez]

Dana passing the blame no surprise here

 

[yaheyyosurveysays]

Once again Dana underestimating the fans, sell that bullshit to filthy casuals.

Your boy nate diaz was to scared to even ask for a rematch with rory mac


Was hoping people would forget about it. Most of his fans have 70 iq's like yourself so it is not that hardest thing for you to forget.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

So basically in other words what you are saying is Conor calls the shots and you don't have any say in it Dana. absoutley pathetic this is.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Lol is that the best you can come with? Jesus. You're either a dumb ass casual or an Irish fan, both of which don't know the sport.

Rory has a fight with Wonderboy for one, and Nate is going to get a huge payday against a loudmouth braggart, that he already beat the shit out of.

Study the sport before you start making proclaimations, all you did is confirm what we already suspected about you.
