Nick Newell Wants to 'Make a Statement' at CES MMA 56
Nick Newell has fought in many of the top mixed martial arts promotions around the world, most notably the World Series of Fighting and Legacy Fighting Alliance. However, his number one MMA goal was to compete at the pinnacle of the sport, to compete for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Newell received his opportunity last July when selected to fight in Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series, a feeder program that sends top performers directly to the UFC. Newell, a congenital left-arm amputee, suffered a unanimous decision loss to Alex Munoz and hasn't competed since.
