"After the fight, Lorenzo (Fertitta) 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," White said on ESPN.

"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 lb fight, but it's what he wanted."

Aldo enjoyed a unanimous decision victory over Edgar at UFC 156 in 2013 but the pair will come head-to-head once more in a fight with major title, if not career, implications for both fighters. "Win, lose, or draw against Nate Diaz, he (McGregor) will go in and he will fight either Jose or Frankie," White added. "Whoever wins at 200."
