Five months later, the Irishman would revenge his loss in a five-round thriller, but a three-round bout did not materialize.
Diaz is currently in talks with Dustin Poirier, but White, UFC boss, warned that McGregor may still be facing him down the road.
He said to TMZ Sports, "We are still working towards that fight. The fight is not over yet.
"But yes, I wouldn’t count out Conor-Nate 3!" "Listen, I would be shocked if this fight didn't take place."
Diaz, 36 years old, has said he will fight in the last bout of his UFC contract, before he retires from MMA.
