He's right

The commentary was clearly biased, Rogan and Goldie were trying to build up Gray the whole time and pretty much ignored everything good that Nate did.

The whole fight was spent on the feet, Nate threw more strikes and landed more (Fight Metric proves it) plus he knocked down Gray in the third. I had him winning the first and third rounds. I wouldn’t be as upset if one idiot didn’t give it 30-27 Gray as the third was clearly Nate’s round. Gutted for Nate, hopefully he can work on his strength and conditioning so that he can be a better fighter at 170 as being a beanpole 155er just makes him prey to the top wrestlers of the division, at least if he was bigger he’d have a better shot at keeping the fight standing.

I’ve seen some comments saying that Nate should drop to 145, personally I don’t know how he’d manage to make that cut. He’s already skinny at 155 and has struggled with that weight cut recently (he didn’t make weight at first against Melvin) so he’d be completely dehydrated and far too skinny if he made that cut.

"Wanderlei is focused and well trained...he will easily win this fight, by a large margin and with much better technique."

Yesterday he dispelled the rumors of him fighting at 170

he said he fights at 155. He would fight at 70 he says but theres not point. He sasy he watns top competition and he wouldnt be able to get that right away at 170. He says hes happy fighitng in the best division against the top guys

he also said that he called gray a bitch more in the fight

dude.....i am

He needs to change something

Right now Nate’s treading water at 155, he looks too skinny and is constantly losing to the top wrestlers. Clearly it’s not working for him just training at Cesar Gracie’s, his boxing should be much better working with Nick and his wrestling should be a lot better working with Shields and Gil but for some reason it’s not working. Nate has so much potential and it’s been frustrating to watch him recently.

agreed

he said he brought a lot of wrestlers into his camp and trained TDD and wrestling defense. He said he trained very little boxing for this fight also.

One of those fights where you wish regular fights were 5 rds and champs were 7 rds.
