.....ok.

I believe it, because they have done it before. Diaz was pulled from his fight with GSP because he wouldn't promote the fight. It makes sense because they do need the press conferences and the commercials to max out huge events like this, and if he won't do it, well then he's not that valuable to the UFC. The UFC wasn't excited about having Conor rematch Diaz anyway, and if he won't come to Vegas, screw him, they won't have any trouble at all finding a new opponent for Diaz and selling that card.
