According to Sonnen, Dana White might jump at the opportunity for a promotional event since a lot of hype and money would be involved in such a fight.

‘Can We Go And Do This Together’

“If you’ve sat down and asked Dana, instead of separating and parting ways, can we do this together?” Sonnen said.

“[A UFC fighter’s] contract and that [exclusivity] clause is very binding,” Sonnen said. “But if you can get the meeting, why try to exclude Dana?

“Does Dana go and try do business without you? Then why would you want to do it without him? Why not include him? At least have the conversation and say: “Can we go and do this together?”

Nate Diaz is approaching the end of his exclusive contract with UFC so the timing is also bang-on to have a shift to the boxing sport. What happens remains to be seen.
