"Nate Diaz has been training for a triathlon," White revealed on LA Today. "Nate Diaz is in phenomenal shape right now.
"So he's not coming in out of shape. He's in phenomenal shape right now."
White also confirmed the fighters who had been contacted by the promotion earlier this week as potential opponents for McGregor.
"We called a lot of people," White said. "Our first choices were Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar. Neither guy could do the fight. Frankie Edgar's going crazy because I said he couldn't do the fight. He's injured. He's injured and couldn't take the fight.
"This business is a business of opportunity. When opportunity knocks, you jump on it or you don't. In a perfect world, you've had six to eight weeks to train, you know the guy you're going to fight and you have no injuries and everything goes perfectly. Nate Diaz and a lot of other guys, too -- Urijah Faber was on the list, Anthony Pettis, 'Cowboy' Cerrone -- but at the end of the day, Nate and Conor really want to fight."Explore more on these topics:
