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.

After the co-main event for UFC 201 took everyone by surprise, eyes are on August 20 now. All eyes are on UFC 202.

It went well but they still hadn't spoken to Diaz.
