SAN ANTONIO – Nate Landwehr is on a roll and he tacks it up to MMA Masters.
Saturday, following his UFC on ESPN 43 submission win over Austin Lingo, Landwehr (17-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) expressed his gratitude for the Miami gym run by coaches Daniel Valverde and Cesar Carneiro. He credited the switch to MMA Masters for his recent streak of success that includes a three-fight winning streak, three $50,000 performance bonuses, and an uptick in popularity.
“I feel like we’re on the cusp of greatness,” Landwehr told MMA Junkie at a post-fight news conference. “I’ve got the right people around me. … Ever since I moved to MMA Masters, you can see the switch. The game is getting better. I’m more fluid with my emotions. I have this independency and this isolation where it’s just my mind. I don’t have any other things coming in. It’s just my mind. It’s broadcasting outward.”
