Dey don’t tink like he tinks.
Second highest Vegas gate and probably 1.5mill ppv buys easy whew
I wouldn't say Conor made Nate a star or vice versa.
Conor has mainstream international appeal because he's white, Irish and obnoxious. Diaz didn't do that.
Nate (and Nick) have both been household names in MMA circles for well over a decade, and are probably much more respected than Conor. Conor didn't cause that.
Nate may be more well known to the casual fan because of those fights, but I wouldn't say it catapulted him to being a "star" in the same way Conor is a star.
Guys like Nate and Breedgame aren’t stars, they are needlemovers (whatever the hell that means)
