They clearly knew Nolan was stronger than them
Why did they try to 1v1 him?
Why did the steve harvey mf try to 1v2 nolan and mark?
The fight would have been much cleaner and more in their favor had they stayed together the entire time
They spoke so highly of Nolan, they must have known they’d lose any 1v1 against him
They split up because while they know one of them can’t kill Nolan for sure, one can hurt him enough to stall for the rest. And Lucan was pretty strong and didn’t think much of Mark (he’s only 18 compared to however many centuries or millennia old Lucan is). I mean, he held his guts in and still had enough strength left to kick Nolan.
