I hope McGregor loses by submission again. Then I hope he fights Aldo and loses to him. And then I hope no one gives a poo poo about him going forward.

Nahh, I hope he has a competitive match, regardless of outcome, and then goes back to 145 and defends the belt against Aldo, again in a competitive match. There's no way a rematch with Aldo is less competitive, anyway.

That's entirely fair and reasonable. Honestly, I wouldn't have even said he was a prima donna (poo poo talker is a given) before the Diaz fight and the rematch demands/refusal to attend press stuff happened. He was pretty big on fighting anywhere anytime and someone at the championship/main event level fighting four times in 14 months is pretty solid. Being able to poo poo talk and back it up with dominant performances (five performance of the night awards in a row before Nate) meant that before Nate he was just an entertaining fighter and a money-making machine.

I wonder if someone's in his ear about the Diaz loss or if it's just all his ego. Regardless of whether or not pushing for the rematch was a dumb thing to do, refusing to do press for 200 was loving stupid of him to do and probably cost him a hell of a lot of status in the eyes of the execs, not to mention a loving ton of money.

we have to care about him enough to see Faber wreck him (in a non-title fight of course) and then lose to Cruz in his first fight coming up in weight or failing that redeem himself by punching Cruz really hard

I can assure you that either Diaz plans nothing. Their life is just a series of inexplicable Diaz moments that can only be created by people with no conceptions of past, future, or consequences. It's like an Alzheimer's light where those guys just live 5 minutes at a time, only recognising the current instant. Someone does something you don't like? See someone you don't like? That poo poo has to be resolved immediately with a slap, it can't wait. I think they literally can't comprehend the idea of something happening in the future. No wonder those guys smoke so much weed, it's gotta be exhausting to live that way. They sign a contract to fight a guy in four months, but to them it means that the fight starts now and doesn't end until the referee finally says its over.

I know it was said earlier in the thread, but Nate and Conor are perfect for one another, as far as crafting a story around a fight and being good foils for each others styles of prefight trash talk.

There will never be another fighter you can pair Conor up with who is going to react to Conor's head games the way Nate does and repeatedly produce promotional gold.

Nate getting riled up and calling Conor out in the post fight interview was the smartest thing he's ever done. Joe Rogan having the foresight to not listen when they told him to turn the mic off of him was pretty good too. Since then it's been a good work, Conor will get his win back, then the blow-off at MSG will do huge numbers.
