Teddy Atlas has compared Nate Landwehr to Tyson Fury

Teddy Atlas was in awe of Nate Landwehr's performance at UFC Fight Night in San Diego. David Onama and Nate Landwehr put on a classic fight that got them the performance of the night bonus.

According to Atlas, he saw moments in that fight which were similar to Tyson Fury's first fight against Deontay Wilder. While discussing the spectacular fight on his podcast, he said:

"Almost like when Fury got dropped in that first fight in the 12th round by Wilder with the right hand. He laid there like he'd been shot. All of a sudden at the last second, like at the count of nine, he gets up. So second round, as Ken (Rideout) said and as I just said, really Onama was just pounding him until the end of the round."

Atlas continued:

"Then in the second round, Landwehr continues where he left off. He evens the fight at 1-1 by just again doing to (David) Onama what Onama had been doing to him...What chins and heart by both."
