I know its being talked about with the other guys, but does anyone think Dana should punish him?

In public he'll say that he's going to punish him and/or strongly advise him never to do anything like that again or risk being fired.
In private he'll probably share a laugh with Nate about it and ultimately not do anything to him.
Dana White is the one who benefited from Strikeforce: Nashville. Not only was he right in thinking that Henderson wouldn't draw, he was right that Shields would beat him. Now Strikeforce has probably burned a bridge with Jake and are a long way away from seeing a return on their investment in Dan.
Plus the brawl. It may have cast a negative light on the sport as a whole, but it definitely hurt Strikeforce more than anybody else.

At best, and I stress at BEST, it may sway Dana's decision to maybe give Nate some form of "___ of the Night" bonus, or push him to cut Nate casually after a bad loss or two. Otherwise, nothing tells me that Dana should really give a s*it about the Strikeforce brawl.
Nate isn't important enough for Dana to have to worry about him being involved in something bad, but he's also a big enough loud mouth to keep around for minor fight hyping purposes. Plus if he keeps Nate around, and plays cool, it increases his chances of luring Nick back into the octagon down the line.

I doubt Dana will do anything about it.
I look at it this way: Nate pretty much "ruined" the competition's ending to an event and Jake Shields won.
Usually, bad things happening to Strikeforce make Dana happy. Two of them happened in one night... I doubt Nate is going to get anything disciplinary other than a talking to about the situation.

I fully expect Dana to give Nate a high five.

No, seeing as Dana White's twitter response to it was "  ". |

Dana probably paid Nate under the table to do that and stir things up. lol
I would however like to see somebody just flat knock Nate out when he does his taunting and flexing. Never have liked the guy.

I'm out of the loop. What exactly happened? Basically, Mayhem Miller attempted to steal Jake Shields' moment after Shields had just beaten Dan Henderson by immediately asking for a rematch. This eventually caused a scuffle to break out and Team Cesar Gracie basically put a beatdown on Mayhem. Nate is the one soccer-kicking Mayhem. |

It really was pathetic how they all just jumped on him and started beating him. Just watched it again, and really makes me want to see somebody just flatten Nate.
