Nates main downfall in his fight against Dos Anjos is he checked virtually ZERO kicks against him, and Raphael as a result virtually destroyed his lead leg.
If Nate checks kicks early in a rematch, I think he can make it much more competitive.
As a Nate fan, I'd prefer McGregor vs RDA.
Nate won't have an answer for the leg kicks. I'd prefer him just wait for Khabib to hopefully beat Cucuy and RDA and then Nate can take the belt from Khabib.
ummmm I think Conor said many many times he is going to defend his belt at 145 why is their still talk of Conor vs RDA that fight as for now is not on the horizon?
It's an awful style match up for both tbh. Dos Anjos has never had a problem with strikers (for those who would bring up the stephens fight, he was handily outgrappling Stephens), but he's always had a problem with suffocating wrestlers like Guida, Tibau and Khabib. A southpaw will rarely beat out modern Dos Anjos, it opens up the leg to kick and there's less space for the left hand to travel. It's a bad time for you if you aren't someone like Khabib at Lightweight with Dos Anjos at the helm
Book dos Anjos vs the winner of Ferguson-Nurmagomedov, put Nate against Alvarez (is already a gift to Nate) for the next in line, let Conor defend his FW at least twice before giving him a TE @LW vs someone else in the end of 2017.
