The UFC boss then suggested that this is because Diaz is holding out for a third fight with McGregor.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We keep offering Nate fights, and he keeps turning them down,&#8221; White said. &#8220;I have no idea [why].&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Maybe he is,&#8221; he then added when asked if Diaz was waiting for a trilogy fight with the Irishman.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently, these claims did not go over well with Diaz.

This win, meanwhile, was preceded by a decision defeat of lightweight contender Michael Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>McGregor, meanwhile, followed his decision defeat of Diaz with a second-round knockout of Eddie Alvarez, which earned him the UFC lightweight title. At the moment, the Irish star is transfixed on the possibility of a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Nate Diaz will return to the cage for anything other than a Conor McGregor rematch?
