What a waste of talent. All three promised so much but ultimately have failed to deliver.
 
Nate is an established top ranked fighter.

I am not seeing what he has in common with the other two...
 
I don't think many were hyping Nate up as the next big thing like they did with Thatch and Silva before they fought anyone good. Nate has some quality wins too.
 
They'll both me cut more than likely but Nate will stay .. the guy sells tickets UFC won't let him go .. crazy talk there
 
Nate is next? Silva and Thatch were heavy favorites. I believe McGregor is next.

Was #14 against RDA

Beat MJ and shot up to #5 just to build the hype.

Could have probably included Nick in this thread too
 
Thatch should have focused on TDD and BJJ after Bendo schooled him. He may have a UFC career still if he had. I think he's cut.
 
Nate should not be mentioned in the same breath as Thatch or Silva. Nate beat a top 5 LW Michael Johnson in his last fight. He knocked out a former LW champ in Maynard. What has Thatch or Silva done?

Maynard has a broken chin and hasn't been the same since Edgar put him away.

MJ lost because he stupidly thought he could defeat Diaz standing.

I think if he didn't talk and act like a thug he'd be cut by now.
 
One of these things is not like the other
 
Thatch should have been given a stand up only can, but he'll do well in Bellator.

edit - although his gaping BJJ hole turns everyone into wrestlers and jitz masters.

I think they were hoping that would happen in this fight. You'd be crazy to stand with him though. Just take him down and he'll tire, then quit.
