Dana White reveals why he gives Conor McGregor 'more rope' - 'He can say whatever he wants'

Conor McGregor evened the score with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 last month, winning via unanimous decision (replay here) to get some payback after the Stockton slugger forced him to tap a few months prior at UFC 196. Both fights did gangbusters at the box office (evidence here and here), leaving many to believe that since the series is tied and locking them in a cage together does good business, a trilogy fight would be a no-brainer.

Not quite, according to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White, who says a third fight between the the talented duo is far from a lock.
