White confirms 'frustrating' Diaz meeting: 'Nate's trying to blow up the deal' for Conor bout

UFC president Dana White confirmed the reports about him storming out of his meeting with Nate Diaz in Stockton late last month.

In late May, UFC executives Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta flew out to Stockton, California to meet with Nate Diaz, supposedly to work out a deal for the rematch against Conor McGregor.

Initial reports after the said meeting claimed that White "stormed out" of the meeting "visibly angry". However, during his special MMA Hour episode last Tuesday, Diaz merely downplayed the reports as a mere exaggeration.

But in his own appearance on FOX Sports 1’s "The Herd" on Thursday, White confirmed that the meeting between him and Diaz did not end well.
