Conor McGregor’s team mate Gunnar Nelson returns as he takes on Albert Tumenov in Rotterdam tonight. Iceland’s Gunnar Nelson against the man nobody wants to fight at welterweight Albert Tumenov.

‘Einstein’ comes in to this bout with five straight wins, ‘Gunni’ needs to get a win back after losing a decision to Demian Maia in December last year. They touch gloves and we are underway.

They get in to the feeling out process, Nelson with a nice jab and a straight, Tumenov looking a little stiff as he kicks low. AT eats a huge left hook from Gunni, Nelsonmoving so well with that SBG style karate-ish stance. Tumenov lands a nice right hand though, body kick by Nelson and this fight is really going well now. Straight right from Nelson misses and now a head kick, but a body shot rips in from Tumenov and lands hard. Nice right hand to the chin by Tumenov but Nelson scores a massive takedown.

Nelson has full mount almost instantly, Tumenov in big trouble right now. Gunnar looking to posture up, Einstein needs to use his wits well here, brutal elbow from Nelson clatters Tumenov’s head off the canvas, he seems stuck here and unable to escape or even regain position. He finally bucks but ends up munching a nasty elbow again, one minute left and Gunni is trying to cut Tumenov’s face up big time. Another nasty elbow but Tumenov finally escapes and they stand. HUGE left hook by Tumenov and a side kick, great round, 10-9 Nelson easily.

Round two is a go, Tumenov has a nasty haematoma on the forehead from those elbows. Gunnar smelling blood but he needs to remain cautious. A raw body punch from Tumenov lands yet again, and a low kick now, Nelson counters well and switches stances. Jab by Gunnar but he looks a little slow now. Nelson with a takedown, maybe he was playing possum, and he’s landed in side control here. Looks to mount and he gets it, Tumenov in big trouble yet again. I’d be surprised if ‘Einstein’ survives this Nelson on the back of Tumenov now.

Body triangle is locked in and now Tumenov is eating punches to the face, choke locks in, this is overm Tumenov taps and that’s that.

Gunnar Nelson submits Albert Tumenov by rear naked choke submission round two.

We have ore action from The Netherlands now, as Nikita Krylov and Francimar Barroso got at it. The light-heavyweights meet as part of the UFC Fight Night 87 main card, and the fight went down as follows:

Brazil vs. the Ukraine here, and Krylov looks pumped. They touch gloves, Krylov jabs and Barroso with a right and now they trade wild punches. Krylov with five straight jabs and they clinch. Krylov with an underhook, picks for a single, knees to the thighs from NK. Barroso doesn’t want the fight in this position as his back is getting pushed on the fence. Head fighting for position here, shoulder strikes a la Randy Couture from Krylov, Barosso breaks away with big punches though, Krylov backs off.

Crazy head kick by Krylov, but Barroso lands a sweet right uppercut. Barroso takes the back in the scramble now, Krylov gets up but he’s still in danger, they break. Barroso has poor form as he lunges and misses, nice punches by Krylov, who perhaps looks the better striker here. They clinch, Krylov needs to keep that chin down, close round, maybe 10-9 Krylov.

Don’t fight like a drunk man is the advice from Krylov’s corner, round 2 starts and Krylov with two monster head kicks, big punches now too. Barroso hanging in there, now they clinch and Barroso is in control. Nice takedown but Krylov sweeps and fires down elbows with bad intent but Barroso with a brutal upkick. A lesser man would be out cold, head butt now by Krylov and he gets warned by the referee. Elbows from Krylov, can opener now by Krylov, and elbows once again. Krylov in side control, now half guard with elbows still. Barroso might be getting tired here, but he shoots up a triangle and gives up his back. xx
