"They were like, 'McGregor only wants to fight you. That's all he wants, is you'."To this, McGregor smiled, nodded his head and responded:
"I do. I'm looking forward to it, so let's do it... I felt pity on your broke ass. I wanted to make you rich at UFC 189."The problem for Diaz, a 13-year veteran of the professional fight game, was that the UFC were not prepared to make him rich enough. He proclaimed:
