Nick’s last fight was sad, guy looked like he had serious brain / nerve damage. ( from fighting and partying).

On his Insta those guys seemed like they were partying hard on all types of substances all throughout the week for several years. (Probably why he needs the money).

I hope he’s ok but it’s for the best he’s not fighting either way
 
I’m not surprised anymore. Nick needs help, the substance abuse has reached its limit. The sad thing is, he could’ve just came back and fought after they substantially lowered his suspension to a little over year for the Marijuana. Too bad he got caught up in the party lifestyle at a later age.

Chris Avila confirmed he was in and out of rehab just a few years ago.... I am worried about where Nick is right now. Robbie wouldn't just say what he did post fight if he didn't know something either.

That might be even worst if he’s been in & out, essentially drugs ended his career and he was out here blaming everyone else instead of taking accountability & being responsible for his career. Jake, Gilbert and Nate should be helping him out and try to get him situated with a career. Seems like they all went there separate ways in the past few years. Jake’s out in Vegas running a gym, Melendez is in Cali running a regional promotion and Nate is just doing god knows what. Nick seems like the only one without a stable form of income.

I dont think he looked as bad as people think

He threw 500 punches in 3 rounds.

From a technical point of view, his boxing actually looked pretty good. He was defending and rolling with shots well, threw a ton of volume.

He just looked slow. That was the main critique. And obviously showed up out of shape

If he takes it seriously, shows up in shape, I could see him taking a few more against reasonable opponents who are hopefully also out of their primes.

Tony Ferguson would be a perfect fight for them to make. Luque made no sense anyways.

Why waste such a big name on luque.
 
They should have bumped Randy Brown to fight Luque and get Tampa Gambino to fight Bryan Battle
Gambino is fighting a ranked opponent out of decision wins over Nico Price and Brahimaj after a 2-year hiatus. On the other hand, Randy Brown has a decision win over Zaleski and a KO of Salikhov, who were both ranked at some point

Nate actually has a family believe it or not.....

Gil and Jake were both on Jaxxon pod with Rampage and still were close and hanging out. The topic of Nick didn't really come up before Gil left except for when they were all fighting together.

 
How does it get this close without him failing a drug test? They dont randomly test any more?
I see on IG he seems to be around and even staying with that massive fat dude that did power slap, Slapforcash. Whole thing’s weird
