I think Nate will get better but with time. LW is best for him.

Bu Nick had way more natural talent then Nate does.Not to mention hes bigger. And I think Nate is to far into himself to really improve that much. Hes trying to copy his brothers style,which only works against sub par strikers, and people who dont want to take the fight to the ground. Everyone at LW are either really good strikers, or wrestlers that wont get caught.

I agree, Nick's talent level is higher.

He's complaining about weight, but dude is underweight at 6'0 if you take muscle to fat ratio into the argument. I'm 6'0 and stay around 150-153 and I look 15 pounds heavier than him. When I was eating better, 6 meals a day, 3500-4000 calories a day, I had put on muscle and mass instead of fat and was still at like 163.

His problem is he's a great BJJ guy, sub-par boxer, but has bullshit for physical attributes to go with it. He needs to get on a decent weight training program, and make use of the skill level he has.

alot of Nate Hate on this forum right now lol. I bet alot of people were saying the same shit about Nick back in the day...I say give nate some time to come into his own, and he will be just fine where ever he ends up, maybe not a champ, but definitly entertaining

Repped, he just need's time to fall into his groove is all.

I hate Nate because of him flexing while choking and elbowing. That's plain douchey. Although I do think he could make something of himself if he worked diligently on his striking. But Nate won't. His striking never looks like its improved from one fight to the next. Maybe in time he will learn what's it's like to be a MMA fighter, and not just a BJJ grappler.
