He was also heard saying “If you called me after this interview we could probably still do it.”
When asked by TMZ Sports if Conor McGregor is a diva, White replied, “No, listen, this is one of those things for whatever reason it is and I don’t know, he doesn’t want to come out here and do this press conference and he didn’t want to do this tour.”

“But you’re talking about a guy that has stepped up and taken fights on late notice, will take late opponents. When you’re a fighter and you believe you’re the best in the world, you’re a diva if you don’t step up and take fights, that’s when you’re a diva.”
Dana was then asked if he had heard from Conor McGregor after giving the Fox Radio interview offering Conor a chance to still fight on UFC 200 should he call, Dana said, “I have not.”
When asked if that window of opportunity is still open for Conor to fight on UFC 200 Dana said, “We’re working on other fights fight now, we pretty much decided that he didn’t want to show up and he’s not here and the press conference is going to go ahead on Friday and that’s that.”

Dana then was questioned if he has worked out who’s going to take Conor’s spot, Dana said, “We’re working on it now, that’s what we are working on today.”
Dana was then asked about Nate, if Diaz has any preference on who he wants to fight, Dana said, “I didn’t want Nate to get Screwed up in this whole deal and not have the opportunity to fight on this card, so we talked to Nate, threw out some opponents and we will see what happens.”
