Back in 2014 UFC president Dana White expressed at a press conference that Nate Diaz “is not a needle mover” and that his brother Nick Diaz is the one who pulls in the real numbers.
“I love Nate Diaz. Nate Diaz is actually one of my favorite kids. I always got along with Nate, Nate was always great. Lowest rated FOX show ever. Lowest rated FOX show ever. His numbers, he doesn’t pull the numbers in.”
How things have changed in a few short years.

After stepping in on short notice and defeating UFC Featherweight champion and posterboy Conor McGregor at UFC 196, Stockton’s own Nate Diaz has cashed in handsomely and has most certainly moved the needle in front of a much wider audience.
Leading up to their anticipated rematch at UFC 202 in August, Nate Diaz has been in very high demand as he has been doing the talk show circuit making memorable appearances on ESPN’s Sportsnation, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel.
On his latest appearance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Nate Diaz appears in a skit that sees him come face to face with some UFC fans who pick against him ahead of their rematch which results in some awkward hilarity.
