Leon vs Nate... Nate is no pushover

[Fedor Emelianenko]

I'm a Leon fan,Leon is a great fighter but we have seen him fade in fights and Nates bottom game means he could cause real problems for Leon.

Leon always taking these risky fights.

 

[Candy Routure]

Edwards is going to beat the hell outta Nate.

 

[Ares Black]

I think Edwards is a bad matchup for Diaz.

 

[SpiderCrawl]

Nate gonna smoke him quicker than a dime bag.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Is this booked?

No way Nate takes a fight like this..

If it happens I'd put $10K on Leon.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

He’s also not a real welterweight

 

[Goatenstein]

I expect Leon to win a mind-numbingly boring fight.

 

[cauti0n]

Leon will likely keep it standing where he should win a decision.

Recipe for disaster if he actually takes Nate down.

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Edwards is an elite WW.
Bad news for Nate, if he ever accepts this fight.

 

[MitMcl]

Nate has nothing for Edwards. I don’t even think this will be a prolonged beating. I think Nate gets finished early.

we have seen Nate fade as well in the 3rd and 4th

I don’t see Nate having anything for Edwards. Nate has looked on the decline in his last 2 fights, fought infrequently for years, and has taken a ton of damage in his career. Now he’s facing a top 5 bigger guy that’s in his prime. I don’t see this fight as being anything more than hyping up Edwards to the casuals for a potential Usman fight.

 

[Handsome Goku]

Nate's record says otherwise

 

[Melas Chasma]

Wait.. There are still fans who don't understand how badly out of prime Nate has been years already?

Nate looked great against Pettis what are you talking about? That was coming off a huge layoff too, and that Pettis beat Wonderboy.

Dude just got done tooling Anthony Pettis, he can still compete at this level lol.

 

[NoSmilez]

I think people get Nate confused with Nick. I don't even think Nate has the best cardio out there. Look at his track record for championship rounds.

Eh, he won against a washed Pettis but I thought he had noticeably declined from his previous fight.

 

[Makani]

Wonder if 5 rounds was a condition for Diaz to return, seems like a random fight to make the first 5-round co-main. Edwards is stronger and more skilled but a battle of wills might not be in his favor.

Yeah Pettis is washed and I respect your opinion but ppl should stop acting like Diaz hasn’t won a fight against quality opponents. Dude almost finished Pettis on the feet too.

Edwards might get surprised in this one.
