Nate Landwehr won a first-round knockout against Jamall Emmers at UFC Atlantic City, garnering attention from Conor McGregor and other pro fighters.
Saturday night was a big one for Nate Landwehr. He caught the eye of none other than Conor McGregor.
Landwehr, a crowd-pleaser in the featherweight division, scored a knockout in the first round. His opponent? Jamall Emmers. Their battleground? The featured preliminary bout of UFC Atlantic City.
This wasn’t a smooth ride for “Nate the Train.” He found himself in a bit of a pickle early on. He bled. He dug deep. But he kept the pressure on Emmers. The result? A comeback stoppage.
This win puts Landwehr back on the winning track. His previous fight, UFC 289 in June, didn’t go his way. He lost to Dan Ige. But before that, the 35-year-old had a hat trick of UFC victories. He stopped Austin Lingo and Ludovit Klein in their tracks.
Post-fight, Landwehr was on fire. His interview was filled with personality. It sparked a wave of reactions from pro fighters. They were talking about Landwehr’s in-fight and post-fight performance. McGregor was among them. Here’s what the UFC athletes had to say:
Jamahal Hill tweeted, “Nate the train always must see tv amazing fight!!!”
Cody Durden chimed in with, “What a comeback! Nate seemed very durable. Nice KO!!! ✈️”
Jared Gordon predicted, “Great post fight interview incoming.”
Alan Jouban added, “Choo choo baby! Nate loves the arenas!”
So, there you have it. A night to remember for Nate Landwehr.
