The who, where or when of the situation
About the fight between McGregor and Dias:
"The only obstacle in arranging this fight was weight. Owing to the short notice, Diaz didn’t want it at 155lb. At first, a catchweight of 160lb was suggested, and Diaz seemed happy with that initially. But then he changed his mind and asked for 165lb. At that point in the negotiations, Conor was done with the back-and-forth.
‘Tell Nate to get comfortable,’ he said. ‘I don’t want him making any excuses. Let’s do it at 170lb.’ And that was that. In the space of twelve weeks, Conor was going to fight in UFC main events at both featherweight and welterweight, jumping right over lightweight. ‘Unprecedented’ was beginning to feature regularly in his vocabulary. His mind was in a place where he felt nobody could touch him. ***The who, where or when of the situation*** didn’t matter.
The build‑up to this new match‑up was brief but enjoyable, as two witty guys exchanged insults during the press conferences..."
Does "The who, where or when of the situation " imply that Conor was ready to fight anyone no matter when and where? It makes little sense to me because he definitely knew who was his opponent (it was Diaz) and where and when the fight would take place.
Thank you.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

he is so confident he feels he can take anyone on and it doesn't matter to him where the fight takes place or at what weight as he's prepared to let Diaz change the weight to suit himself
