The UFC is trying to book a rematch between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor, but there's no deal done just yet.

UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta and president Dana White flew to Diaz's hometown of Stockton, Calif., on Friday in an attempt to finalize the bout.

But according to TMZ.com, things didn't go well. TMZ reported that lunch ended abruptly with White storming out of the restaurant, which is accurate.

However, an Instagram post, taken after the lunch, showed Diaz, Fertitta, White and others visiting a mural of Diaz in Stockton. Sources tell MMA Fighting that Diaz and White were able to briefly put their blowup past them, but no deal was finalized.

The meeting with Diaz came two days after White met McGregor for dinner in Beverly Hills, the first meeting between the two since the dispute which caused the Diaz-McGregor rematch to be pulled from UFC 200. That meeting went well and the sides agreed on targeting UFC 202 on Aug. 20 for the rematch.

Dana got pissed because Nate grew a brain and is demanding that wacky shirt money. I mean, he went from 20/20 to 500k in less than a year (well deserved no doubt) and to any employer that jump hard to swallow let alone having to double it. This really is our very own "boxing" drama going on here.

lol @ the two fake smiles vs Nate's confidence in that picture. Good for him. He deserves serious money. More than McGregor, imo.

The holder of the leprechaun belt should get paid at least as much as the leprechaun.

Some hardcore synthetic drug that got big down here.

I figured you had to be on some shit to say that Nate deserved more than Conor.

Bath salts? I can't keep up with all that street drug lingo. But I do remember the guy eating the other guy's face off down that way.

In terms of marketability, I get it. But fuck that. Nate has the experience and skill that says he should be the higher paid man.
