Kyle Nelson may find it difficult to fly under radar much longer if he stays on his current trajectory in the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division.
The 5-foot-11, 145-pound veteran will toe the line against Jackson-Wink MMA’s Steve Garcia in a three-round UFC Fight Night 242 attraction on Sept. 7 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Nelson, 33, rides a three-fight winning streak into the match. He last suited up on March 30, when he wiped out former Ring of Combat champion Bill Algeo with first-round punches at UFC on ESPN 54.
