Dana White shoots down Nate Diaz return with all too familiar response

It looks like Nate Diaz won't be UFC 222's saviour.

UFC 222 needs a main event and Nate Diaz is supposedly interested in providing one. The Las Vegas card is in awful condition since featherweight champion Max Holloway withdrew from his scheduled defence against Frankie Edgar. 'The Answer' has indicated that he's willing to fight anyone on the card, but at the time of writing, no replacement fight has been booked. With no fights on the thin undercard worthy of main event status, the UFC panicked. An attempt was made to run back the bantamweight title fight between TJ Dillashaw and Cody Garbrandt on short notice. However, the champion understandably declined. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/960798607782940672 If the UFC are that desperate that they were willing to risk losing their planned superfight between Dillashaw and Demetrious Johnson, it stands to reason that they would try to get Diaz on the card. Especially considering Dana White has already offered him fights. However, the UFC president told Lance Pugimire of the LA Times that Diaz has rejected every fight offer he's made.
