(Subscribe to MMAWeekly.com on YouTube) There was once a time when UFC president Dana White spoke about Nate Diaz, saying that he wasn't a "needle mover." That time has come and gone. Diaz returned from a near-three-year layoff and rolled to a victory over former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis at UFC 241 in Anaheim, Calif. The bout cast a large shadow over the event, which was headlined by the heavyweight championship rematch between Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic. * * *TRENDING Ronda Rousey nearly loses finger while filming (WARNING: Graphic Image)* * *Fans were tuning in left and right for Diaz's return. He was moving the needle. Following his win over Pettis, White discussed Diaz's return as the UFC's new anti-hero, declaring his star power on the same footing as Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey.
