"He doesn't want to fight. We have made around five or six fights in the last six months and he has turned them all down. Alvarez, [Justin] Gaethje, [Edson] Barboza and [interim lightweight champion Tony] Ferguson multiple times."https://www.instagram.com/p/BGQJYQVOPpo White could be telling the truth. Perhaps Diaz doesn't want to fight. Although, the evidence supports the idea that for the right price, he'd be willing to return to the Octagon. His boxing coach Richard Perez famously said that Diaz would need at least $20 million to complete the McGregor trilogy. Whether or not Diaz is worth that much in a promotion suffering a dearth of star power is certainly up for debate. It's also worth noting that White consistently claimed that Georges St-Pierre 'didn't want to fight' while the former welterweight king was negotiating his return. Despite White's claims, GSP made a victorious comeback at UFC 217.
