Good list. Nate def does have underrated trips and throws, props for catching that. I disagree that Nate has better submissions. Nick has the overall better BJJ I think, although they’re both very high level. I do think Nate transitions from one to another better (as he did in the Gomi fight). But Nick has great submissions, and does really sneaky shit like trapping Cyborg Santos’ glove to get the armbar.
Nate is better at cutting guys off when pressuring, whereas Nick tends to follow them. In the Condit fight, Nate pointed out to Nick that Condit was backing up a lot and to “cut him off real good”—but Nick did not seem to be able to even attempt this.
Power punching is equal to me. Watch some of the combos Nick landed on Cyborg or BJ, and you’ll see that he mixes in power punches just as well and often as Nate does.
Nick does better bodywork than Nate. Nick’s shoeshine combo is a thing of beauty, whereas Nate just kind of blasts shots to the body, doesn’t mix them up the way Nick does or have the finesse that Nick does imo.
