Nate is everywhere, is he more mainstream than Nick has ever been?

He's onto something and I hope he capitalizes on it. Good for him really, he looks like a nice guy.
 
You now know why everyone wants to fight Conor.

They can win, yes, but Conor made them famous. They should be glad and thank the GOAT.
 
Nate was in a limelight that Nick never had. So, it's his moment. He could be equal to or more visible in the mainstream at present. There's no real way to validate, but I see why you're curious.
 
He has to continue winning to keep the momentum
 
Yeah but most likely, he won't capitalize on it, and then a few years from now he will complain how the system never gave him an opportunity.

The primary difference between fighters like Ronda, GSP, and Conor who capitalize and those who don't.

I really hope he does though, he is in his promotional prime right now, if Conor does well going forward a rematch fight could be huge.
 
He deserves it IMO. He's been fighting tougher competition than Nick has.

This retard uses the term GOAT like it's going out of style. so fucking annoying man.
 
I think both HOW he handled the press conferences, and how many people watched them, as well as the fight itself, has shot him as high as either brother has ever been, in terms of popularity.

Maybe not MORE than Nick at his hight, but really close to the same.
 
Watch, they'll feed him to a fucking wrestle-blanket next. They do it every time with him.



Oh and he's still not more popular than Nick. Nick's been in there with Anderson, GSP, Frank Shamrock, Gomi, BJ, etc.

Ummm what?

Nick fought Carlos, Gomi while he was high, Lawler, GSP, Bj Penn, Sakurai, Anderson Silva, Frank Shamrock, Sean Sherk ect. Nick fought legend after legend lol. Wtf. All during an age of roids and weight cutting where most likely Nick never took any performance enhancing drugs and wasn't a huge weight cutter most the time.

Bj Penn, GSP, Anderson, the top guys of last generation.

How many of those guys did he beat? Nate has beaten Cerrone, Miller, MJ and Maynard just to name a few.
 
I'm just happy he is finally getting the recognition he deserves.

Nick would probably the champ of the UFC under old school rules where the fight didn't end until there was a winner. But I accept your point, he would put on a performance but just didn't seem concerned with winning rounds. He did give away many decisions.
 
Nah he and his brother are a package deal. They both reap the benefits of winning
