Let me start off by saying I like Nate a lot, and I think he's a solid fighter and a bad matchup even for some good fighters. That said, this talk of him being the 5th ranked LW is a joke, mostly pushed by those who wanna make Cloner's win and loss to him seem more legit.
In the last 4 years this is Nate's record at LW;
2012 - LOSS to Benson Henderson, not just a loss but a dominant blowout, Nate wasn't competitive
2013 - LOSS to Josh Thompson, Nate got brutally knocked out by head kick
2013 - WIN over Grey Maynard, lol yes Grey Maynard whose record was like 1-6 during those few years
2014 - LOSS to RDA, even worse than the Bendo loss, RDA mops the floor with Nate, not competitive
2015 - WIN over Michael Johnson, a 2-1 decision, but a good win over a top 10 fighter
Keep in mind this is LW, the deepest and toughest division in mma. Do you think this record puts you in the top 5 or even top 10?
