Why has UFC welterweight Gunnar Nelson won nine of his 10 fights inside the first round? If you ask him, it's all a part of his 'self-defense' strategy, one he intends to employ against Justin Edwards at UFC on FUEL TV 7 next month in London.
If indicative of a pattern, the Zuffa cuts of DaMarques Johnson and Rich Attonito should serve as a wake-up call to fighters on the verge: Favors don't carry as much weight anymore. Choose your fights carefully every time out.
After three straight losses, including a submission defeat to Gunnar Nelson earlier this month on FUEL TV, UFC says goodbye to former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 9 runner-up DaMarques Johnson.
Dan Hardy was not a sure thing for a UFC title shot, but with careful matchmaking, the UFC was able to develop the limited British fighter into a title contender. They need to do the same thing with Jimi Manuwa and Gunnar Nelson.
DaMarques Johnson is in an interesting position at this point in his UFC career but perhaps more intriguing is the position the UFC is in when dealing with him.
