The talk
Dan White, UFC president: “This fight is a big deal for the division, for who’s next in the title picture and obviously it’s a huge fan favourite fight .
“This thing took on a life of its own, it’s a big fight and it’s not only a fight that people want to see, it’s an important fight in the division, in the title picture.”
Conor McGregor: “I think Diaz beats him. He’s got crisper boxing, way more experience. I think Masvidal’s had a good run, he’s had a two fight win streak.
“The game is very forgetful I believe, our sport is, I think Diaz has enough in him to do it.
“I think he’s in a better space. You’ve got to factor that in, what kind of space is the fighter in because everyone’s the best on their day. I think Diaz beats him.”
