Nate wants out, theres no benefit to him to wait until Conor comes back in a year or so. Fergy is the choice as they are pretty similar in terms of where they are in their respective careers and its a good “veteran” fight. But Dana is a prick so he will keep offering Khazmat, and if Nate turns it down, will only extend his time even more. If Nate wants to leave and give a giant finger to Dana, he accepts the fight, taps as soon as the bell starts, and walks out of the arena with his contract fulfilled
