What happened to Gunnar Nelson?

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

Was overhyped due to friendship with Conor and by being from a niche country from a marketing perspective.... went on to get exposed as a skilled but average fighter when level of competition increased. Also fairly injury prone so not active thus not in the news a lot.

Gunnar vs Lobov headlining 230

 

[DarkneT]

He's his own worst enemy literally

Should be fighting at 155

Played a stupid game with Maia

I don't think he takes his career (UFC) vey seriously

Nah, he was in the UFC before Conor and got his own hype before that

 

[ElCasca]

Gunni is probably the guy in the UFC nowadays that takes the martial arts spirit most seriously.
Doesn't cut weight, relies everything on technique and not power.
I still think he should cut to 155, he would be champ there

 

[in the liver]

He literally posted he was waiting for the UFC to offer him a fight like 6 hours ago on instagram.

Edit: 7 hours ago.

looks more like he's waiting for spinal surgery


...or a cheeky pat on the butt

Even though people were high on him before Conor even made it to the UFC?
