Video: Ben Fowlkes with three questions about Nate Diaz and the UFC 'needle'

When it comes to UFC President Dana White and disgruntled lightweight Nate Diaz, it’s all about the “needle.” MMAjunkie’s Ben Fowlkes, meanwhile, has three questions about that mysterious needle.

This past week, White and Diaz’s manager, Mike Kogan, clashed on Twitter after the UFC boss held a media scrum and said he doesn’t have a strong incentive to push Diaz back to work because he isn’t a “needle-mover.”

White specifically pointed to TV ratings to make his point.

Whether or not you believe that Diaz, a former title challenger and winner of “The Ultimate Fighter,” has legit gripes about his pay, White’s needle-related comments prompted some questions.

Fowlkes discusses them in the above video.
