An exciting two part edition of MMA Squared where we look at only the intangibles.
It all comes down to one thing: persistence. Nate kept being Nate until the world caught up to him and he’s about to get paid.

He has slapped every person in this picture.

He was totally into weed way before the UFC got into it.

He’s brand consistent. Black t-shirt, dark jeans, a joint in his hand… maybe it’s 2006, maybe it’s 2019, who knows?

Did I mention he slapped Dana White on camera?

So, that’s my case for Nate: he’s gonna win and I didn’t even have to do any striking or grappling analysis. I wonder what’s gonna happen in the future?

Take care of yourself and tune in tomorrow for The Case for Jorge Masvidal.
