Nate Diaz is in no hurry to enter a third bout with Conor McGregor because, you know, he thinks he won the two previous fights. In his mind he's 30-0.
The Irishman leveled the score following scraping a majority decision victory at UFC 202 but the Stockton-fighter remains adamant he should of been the victor.
Shortly after UFC 196, McGregor was granted an immediate rematch claiming he was obsessed with a second meeting though Diaz feels resigned to the fact that it may not be reciprocated on his end.

Speaking on Chael Sonnen's podcast via MMA Fighting. "I don't know (what's going on behind the scenes). Remember last time they rushed to his house the next morning and said he was all obsessed or whatever? I was pretty crazy about it for a couple of days, but it's whatever to me, you know?"
The 31-year-old initially was hellbent on a third encounter yet has cooled those talks, well, I guess he can afford to after receiving a cool $2 million. "It's whatever to me. I won the fight. I'm not jumping for joy for round three. I think I beat him twice and it's 2-0, as far as I'm concerned. If they're gonna want to do it down the road, I don't know. I'm not in a hurry. It's all good."

It appears the only fight which will lure Diaz back into the octagon is a rubber match against McGregor though will take advice from big bro Nick upon his return even calling a "general."
On that note, we hope Nick makes his return soon, too.
