The kid makes really good money. And the unfortunate part is, he\u2019s not a needle mover. His brother (Nick Diaz) is a needle mover, he\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The younger Diaz proved that to be wrong at UFC 196. With just ten days notice, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-new-nate-diaz-highlight-video-may-best-one-ever-seen\/\">Nate Diaz<\/a> stepped in to fight UFC featherweight champion <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-conor-mcgregor-will-get-motivated-new-edit\/\">Conor McGregor<\/a> in an exciting non-title welterweight bout. White claimed after the fight that it was the <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/dana-white\/dana-white-says-ufc-196-takes-record-ppv-buys-ufc-history\/\">most bought UFC PPV<\/a> event in the company&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>Diaz spoke with <a href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2016\/03\/not-a-needle-mover-nate-diaz-says-ufc-196s-success-proved-dana-white-wrong\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Junkie<\/a> on White&#8217;s past statement coming off the big win over McGregor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew that I brought the numbers,\u201d Diaz told MMAjunkie. \u201cWhen I fought on FOX it was like 3, 4, 5 million viewers every time I fight and headline these FOX shows. That\u2019s where my argument was in the first place. I was like, \u2018I see what\u2019s going on here.\u2019 So when I said they were trying to hold me back and trying to say that I wasn\u2019t moving the needles or whatever, I already knew that. I knew the pay-per-view numbers were going to be huge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy point was proven. He brings a big following and he\u2019s got good numbers, too, but that\u2019s why I was saying after my fight with (Michael) Johnson, I was like, \u2018You want to see a fight?\u2019 No one pays attention. That\u2019s why I had to demand that (expletive) and express it and come off the way I did, so I could try to get a fight. Now they can\u2019t deny it, the whole needle-moving thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Diaz said he is still unsure about how things will pan out for him now that he has shown the numbers don&#8217;t lie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho knows (if I\u2019ll get the push)?\u201d Diaz said. \u201cThey\u2019re promoting him already more off this fight than they are with me. It just happened, so we\u2019ll see what happens in the next fight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2014, UFC President Dana White said Nate Diaz was not a draw in the UFC. &#8220;He\u2019s under contract and when he\u2019s ready to fight he can fight,&#8221; White said regarding contract issues with Nate Diaz. &#8220;The kid makes good money.
