Nate Diaz is playing hard ball now.

Straight from the school of Conor McGregor marketing, the American knows when he's wanted and he knows his worth. https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/678491958092763136 They're flying out to meet with Nate Diaz now, that's where he's at. After his second round submission of The Notorious back in March, they want him back in the ring. And they want him bad. But it's not going to be that easy. After the co-main event for UFC 201 took everyone by surprise, eyes are on August 20 now. All eyes are on UFC 202. On Thursday, Ariel Helwani confirmed that Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta met with Conor McGregor to discuss a rematch with Nate Diaz. https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/733290728495976448 It went well but they still hadn't spoken to Diaz. Well, on Friday, they did. Dana and Lorenzo flew to Stockton to meet with the only man to deliver McGregor a UFC loss but, alas, no deal was made. https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/733777172473778176 Despite some outlets reporting that the meeting blew up and that Diaz left White and Fertitta on a sour note, the fighter posted this picture afterwards. https://www.instagram.com/p/BFpRrdGuPk_/ Relationships not strained but still no sign of a rematch. But some people have more important things to worry about anyway. https://twitter.com/Lapxrte/status/733777777120415744 Click snap
