Rise to Prominence
Championship Bouts and Most Recent Career
Nate continued with impressive performances in the octagon, defeating such fighters as Donald Cerrone, Jim Miller and others, but was yet without a title match. That all changed in December 2012, when he was given the chance to fight for the UFC Lightweight Championship against Benson Henderson, in a match televised on Fox 5 in a pay per view event. Unfortunately, Nate lost the match by a unanimous decision, and since then Nate has been in mixed form, winning only three fights, while losing six. However, he defeated Connor McGregor in a March 2016 fight, which has been regarded a Performance of the Night, Fight of the Night, and Submission of the Year. He hasn’t made a single appearance following the rematch against McGregor in August 2016, which Nate lost by decision. Nate now runs a Brazilian jiu-jitsu school in Lodi, California with his brother Nick.
