Why does Nate Vs Leon get to be 5 rounds....

[RockyLockridge]

But gaethje vs chandler doesnt?

 

[Herwald]

Didn't Nate want 5? Cause he feels like he has the advantage in 5? Neither Joostin nor Chandler need 5.

 

[legcramp]

Cuz Nate draws more than both guys combined.

 

[SKYNET]

shiii why did we just get 5 rounds of Dumont vs Ladd but aren't getting 5 rounds of Gaethje vs Chandler? a slap in the face for someone that's been here since UFC 1

 

[mma sharingan]

Cuz Gaethje wont need 5 rounds to finish Chandler.

Because ever since Nate beat Conor "Notorious for having absolutely no cardio" Mcgregor, there was this weird myth where after a Diaz brothers face gets turned into lasagna for 3 rounds they magically become better fighters in the 4th and 5th...

However, believers of this myth confused flipping the bird and flexing their 11" arms with making an actual meaningful performance in a fight where a fighter lands multiple strikes or makes an effort to take the fight to the ground in pursuit of a submission.
This myth was busted when recently Nate was so gassed in the Edwards fight he was physically unable to advance on an almost unconscious Edwards, instead opting to taunt him and throw insults. And when Nick literally gave up on the canvas as he was probably about to have a heart attack after punching himself out in his return fight after a decade of drug abuse.

A better question would have been why isn't Leon vs Masvidal 5 rounds?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

The new rule seems to be you can have 5 rounds if you're a Diaz brother.

Gaethje said if he wasn't getting paid more, why should he fight more rounds. He wanted it to be three.

Most fighters prefer not to do 5 rounds because it’s a lot of extra work training for

 

[Megatronlee]

Nate gets that

 

[DoctorsStoppage]

Cause Nate planned to carry Leon to the 5th and knockhimout.

Sorry. Just trying to be helpful.

No fight should be 5 rounds outside of the championship fights.

That's why its called championship rounds.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Nate won round 5... By Pride rules he won the fight.

 

[mjfan23]

Cause Justin is one of those pay me by the “rounds” person

yeah but we already know this isn't the case even nick diaz vs lawler II was 5 rounds aswell

But gaethje vs chandler doesnt?

Because Nate requested it and the others didn't. Neither Chandler nor Gaethje believe a 5 round fight would increase their chance of winning. Most fighters see longer fights as undesirable.

It's strange because Nate has never won a 5 round fight. His brother sucks in them too, only ever winning 1
