ultimatefightingchamp Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 He beat up one of the worst fighters the UFC had to offer but it was still a good performance. Hopefully he can do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice_warrior Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I have been reading and looking at Gunnar now for the last days, trying to understand where he comes from and what he is about. I think he is one of the best in the world in BJJ and he has been inprowing his striking alot, his ground game is top notch and everybody he gets to the ground has been finished. If he would get his striking and kicking to the same level as the ground game he would be a real force in the UFC, the guy is only 24 years old and has multiple honors in BJJ competitions world wide. So now it is up to him to prove his worth and it will be intresting to see him against a guy that would bck him up, i think that has never happend, then we will see his real collors Merry xmass all.

Bubba_Pilks Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 The guy has mad skills for sure. Him and Rory are the future of the Welterweight division. I'd love to see that matchup in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_warrior Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 There is discussion here in Iceland about MMA right now as the sport is not registered in the Icelandis sports federation due to the lack of anti doping controll. So im wondering about how the rules are in the UFC regarding doping controll? I have heard and read that some fighters have faild drug tests but they have fought any way and my question is why is that? Then there is the other matter, regarding Gunnar Nelson, i have been watching his old fights, both MMA and in the Jiu Jitsu competitions and i can not see anyone beat him if he gets people to the ground.... He is a monster in grappling and Jiu Jitsu, he has been fightin much larger and stronger oponents and most of them have lost to him due to his technique, calmness and strength, so in my oppinion he will be a champion in the UFC sometime in the next 2 years.

GHBD Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Gunnar was the big signing of 2012 (forget Lombard), the guy has a lot of potential. He will needs a step up in competition after he wins his next fight, it will be interesting to see where he really ranks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
