Nate's great, but Wand is the GREATEST!
If Nate stays on the feet and tries to bang, Wand'll separate his head from his shoulders. Nate's striking is quite refined, but to exploit Wand's style, you have to time him and find the right angle to really jolt him, or you're in the weeds. I see the MT clinch just blasting Nate all night long. Nate's submission game, while rocksolid, I think is quite defendable via Wand's bjj defense and ability to somehow always pick his ass off of the canvas.
Just another great reason why Wand's now at MW, where one could argue he much thoroughly belongs considering the behemoth sizes of a Jones or Forrest....
