White shoots down rumors of McGregor-Diaz rubber match at UFC 219
For those looking forward to a potential rubber match between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz in December, Dana White would advise against holding your breath.
The fire beneath the idea has been stoked periodically over the last year, but the UFC's president appeared to extinguish the blaze Sunday night when he replied to a tweet mentioning the possibility of a McGregor-Diaz meeting at UFC 219 on Dec. 30.
Not true AT ALL

Nothing has been released yet in the way of a card for UFC 219, but White's comment was less than inspiring for those who'd like to see which fighter can settle the existing 1-1 score and win the potential trilogy. McGregor, of course, is coming off his recent superfight against Floyd Mayweather, but Diaz has not competed since his loss to McGregor at UFC 202.
