    Diaz: They called me, I didn’t ask. They offered me a f*ckload of money and I said I want more.

    McGregor preferred Diaz to Cerrone since Diaz beat him.

    Peaked somewhere around 360,000 on a Wednesday afternoon on very little notice. Crazy.

    I guess this episode will air next Thursday, Friday on YouTube, just in time to hype up the fight.

    Frankie is plenty good enough to be 145lbs champion, they've just kept him away from Conor. It was pretty suspect to me how Conor went to to challenge RDA instead of at least defending his newly won championship one time. Knowing that in all likelihood he would have to fight Frankie who is stylistic kryptonite for Conor.

    If Frankie was to get a full camp in and dismantle Conor in the same fashion he did to Cub, there goes the big $ super fight. I became obvious in the Chad Mendes fight that a good wrestler is a bad match up for Conor, so if you put a good wrestler against Conor who has a deep gas tank, Conor has nothing for them.

    Speaking of Urijah, he was offered the fight with McGregor at lightweight and accepted before they settled on Diaz. Obviously Cerrone was down as he tweeted "fuck!" after Nate got the fight. Aldo, Edgar, RDA out with injury. Not sure if anyone else was in the mix?

    Yeah not sure if he was offered, maybe.

    Nurmagomedov was also interested but they aren't putting him in that spot like I think you might've said earlier.

    Not sure if that means Tony Ferguson was also in the mix.

    Nate Diaz seems much more interested in the cash than the win.

    Can't say I blame him.

    He's certainly not talking like a fighter that thinks he is going to win.

    Bisping was the opposite. He seemed certain.

    McGregor has requested to fight at UFC 200 which, I'm sure, was the plan all along.

    If RDA's foot is still knackered by then the Aldo rematch makes sense.
