UFC Fight Night 53 Nelson vs Story video highlights

UFC Fight Night 53 is in the books, and it was another entertaining main card showing on a free card. Three first round knockouts fast tracked to the evening’s main event, where welterweights Gunnar Nelson and Rick Story battled for five rounds. The result was nothing like we expected, as “The Horror” upset the bookies favorite in the evening’s feature bout.

Nelson looked out of sorts after round one, perhaps he felt that Story would begin to tire after round three. For “Gunni”, he is sent home with his first pro loss and some questions to answer concerning his performance. One of which would be ‘how about a gameplan for your next fight?’.

Standing on the outside and trying to counter Story had little impact on the fight, and Nelson got dropped by a big left hook from the wrestler/striker. I expected more ground work from Nelson in this fight, but he scored only two takedowns in the entire fight, and didn’t attempt any submissions while there.

So it’s back to the drawing board for the Icelandic fighter, and Story adds another big scalp to his impressive record. Check out the UFC Fight Night 53 Nelson vs Story highlights and stay tuned to LowKick.com!
