Following over two years in retirement, former World Series of Fighting (WSOF) lightweight veteran Nick Newell made a triumphant return to mixed martial arts at last night’s (March 9, 2018) Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) 35 from the Arena Theatre in Houston, Texas.
Apparently unleashing the pent-up aggression of being gone from the sport, Newell wasted no time submitting opponent Sonny Luque with a neck crank only 2:10 into the first round.
Newell then called out for a shot in the UFC, something that could be coming soon for him if he keeps winning in impressive fashion. Watch the highlights of his return victory here:
