Gunnar Nelson hopes that the UFC will afford Nicolas Dalby a UFC return for its first trip to Copenhagen on Sept. 28.
One of the most celebrated fighters from Denmark, Dalby has been on a mission to get back into the UFC after a battling depression and attempting to unify the Cage Warriors welterweight title in a viral contest with Ross Houston at last month’s Night of Champions event.
Many believed that Dalby and Houston were fighting for a UFC contract as well as Cage Warriors gold in the London main event, but the bout was deemed a no contest when the vinyl surface off the cage became too slippery due to the bloodshed in round three.
