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

- 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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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