Make it three straight UFC victories for Huntsville’s Kyle “The Monster” Nelson.
Fighting Saturday night in Atlantic City, Nelson defeated Bill Algeo by TKO (strikes) at 4:00 of Round 1.
From UFC.com:
“The Monster” hurt Algeo early in the contest, landing a big right hand that shook the equilibrium of the local favorite. While Algeo got his composure back, Nelson continued to land the bigger shots throughout the contest, and late in the round, he once again put Algeo on shaky footing. As the follow-ups came raining down and Algeo staggered around the cage, referee Gary Copeland stepped in and halted the action.
After struggling out of the gates at the start of his UFC career, Nelson is now on a four-fight unbeaten streak, moving to 4-4-1 overall inside the Octagon. The new dad has clearly found his footing, and continues to push forward in the featherweight division. | Official Scorecards
