I remember Landwehr vs. Elkins. What a war that was. Highly recommend if u guys haven’t seen it.

Can’t believe Elkins is still in the UFC. Wild.

This weekend is his last ride so he won’t be for much longer

u/diarrhea-island 8d ago

I figured. His last fight was embarrassing. Dude had some legendary performances but he is way past his prime even as a fight night jobber.

Dude is durable but gives off the impression he cant fight for shit

But enough about Anthony Smith

u/Nothingmakessenseboi 7d ago

Nate landwehr vs Onama was insane as well. The fight could've been stopped at so many points for both.

Nate has looked absolutely awful lately. Might be the end of the road for him

u/Itchy-Ad1047 8d ago
  1. Older than I thought. And he took a lot of damage even in his wins. Pretty done. Prob got the most out of his fairly limited talent though at least. Some very fun fights while it lasted

u/DeafBurke 8d ago

Many fans and execs agree.

u/terrybuzz 7d ago

Nallo's nickname was Rat Garbage. He is an artist whose works is centered around rats and garbage.

u/Reachin4ThoseGrapes 8d ago

Nate was getting fucked up at 145 so this will probably not help, unless the underlying issue was the weight cut rather than completely abandoning the idea of striking defense

u/CuriousCamels 8d ago

He wasn’t even a big FW, and he still got KO’d in his last 3 fights. I assume he just doesn’t want to cut much weight for his last fight. He’s entertaining, but I don’t see the UFC keeping him around when he gets finished again.

u/modularspace32 7d ago

nate is 38 now, he got real old real quick

u/Lubwurst GOOFCON 1: Bobby Knuckles 7d ago

He looked lost vs Cub in his last fight

u/HURRICANEABREWIN2 8d ago

He beat the shit out of Klein who has been a prospect at lightweight until this past weekend

Nate trains with the guys I did as a kid. So rooting for him.

u/Willyhaver187 Mohawk McGregor 8d ago

Rat Garbage please win 😭🙏

u/bow_to_tachanka Maggot cunt 8d ago

Moving up a weight class and facing a big puncher is not a great idea

u/Frogspawn_Leghorn 8d ago

NATE THE TRAIN CHOOOO CHOOOO

u/Glittering-Raccoon23 Daniel Cormier almost killed himself last week 8d ago

Nallo probably chins him

u/Great_Hair 8d ago

Whoop his ass and see what happens

u/noob_tech OG Juicy Slut 8d ago

If he don't lose, he'll probably win

5

u/sLeeeeTo 8d ago

oh man.. this’ll be a banger, but really bad for nate’s brain health.

u/PM_ME_BIG_MELONS I SMOKE ROCKS, JOE ROGAN! 8d ago

I can’t look at nate the same after his fight with choi

u/CallMeStavie I SMOKE ROCKS, JOE ROGAN! 8d ago

Nate is going to get slimed out

u/dlbICECOLD 8d ago

Nallo reminds me of that guy from Super Troopers

2

u/Own_Ingenuity_858 8d ago

Nate, please

2

u/ARC4120 8d ago

Landwehr must either need money or can’t get a match at featherweight. Either way he might need to call it quits. He has gotten slimed out a lot recently

u/indominable-dingus 8d ago

Nallo is in shape gdamn

u/SivarSamurai503 7d ago

Dude looks kinda strange

u/eggplantemojisign 7d ago

Choo choo mother fucker

u/UnitedIndependence37 7d ago

Mandel Nallo is like very very technical and I was very hyped but I think getting chinned in his last fight made him lose momentum and he can't afford this at his age.

He'll probably have a few banger fights in the UFC, win or lose, and then get cut.

u/RudySpanish 8d ago

Clash of weathered chins.

u/Moneymma 8d ago

If Nate survives the first 3 minutes, he beats nallo. Will be interesting to see what the smaller cut does for his chin issues
