What happened to Gunnar Nelson?

[CBohl]

He last fought in 2019 against Gilbert Burns.

I hope he wasn't cut by the UFC, fun fighter.

He gets hate for training with McGregor but dude always comes to fight.

 

[Thesnake101]

Probably focused on being a coach for the time being.

shopping for hip sized boots?

 

[PicoPulse]

Refuses to test waters at 155

 

[Flying omoplata]

some guys just take a while after a few losses he might be back in the next year or so or just retire and become a coach

 

[Fahcough]

Remember that Micheal Jackson video he made. Looks so stoic and dry but he does some goofy shit

 

[Tweak896]

Hopefully is bulking up to compete at WW or dropping to 155

 

[Kryptt]

Plus he had a family addition in October.

 

[Luthien]

Ponzi took his eye

Gunnar was never the same after

 

[Berkowitz]

He is like a world class grappler and has cool Karate style, dunno why he stopped.

Gunnar Nelson happened to Gunnar Nelson, dude has McGregor levels of activity for someone that hasn't accomplished much. I get the dude is calm and zen like but by him not fighting he's not getting any closer to what I assume is his goal of becoming Champion. He's had far too many gaps of inactivity in between bouts to make me believe he's going to be anything more than a Journeyman at this point.

Burns jumped up to 170 and got right to it and has been taking fight after fight whether it be with a Full Camp or short notice and has benefited because of it. Nelson has lost fights here and there and disappears for what feels like years. Unless he's set for life and got that Red Panty Night money getting dripped to him by Conor he needs to get in there.

One dimensional, too small for WW it seems, lost a couple in a row, not as good as we thought.

Lol.

The song has taken over his spirit, but not his body.

He would of been great at 155 imo.

what's the point of this. horrible lol.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Idk why there was every hype for the guy

 

[Jose Beehive]

 

[HHJ]

Fun fighter to watch,sidelined with injuries. I understand a guy who started a family wants to stay put in Iceland to be quite honest in these pandemic times. So people need to think about that before judging too harshly. Also he shouldnt be lumped in with Conor's schenanigans. Gunnar had nothin to do w any of that

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

I’d like to see him test the waters at 155

 

[Safton]

I dunno, but I'd like to see him back at some point. It was like watching the intersection of Wonderboy and Demian Maia in one fighter (albeit with a less polished version of each man's respective skill set, obviously). Pretty neat style and certainly a breath of fresh air; even if he wasn't a world-beater he was certainly decent. I feel like he could be a solid perennial Top 10 dude on his best day if he stayed active.
