After two years away from the Octagon, it looks as though Gunnar Nelson is all set to return to the cage in 2022. Earlier this month, news dropped that Nelson had just signed a new deal with the UFC and hoped to compete on the upcoming March 19th Fight Night card in London. Now it looks like he’s got an opponent.
First announced by MMA journalist Alfredo Zullino, Claudio Silva took to Instagram to announce that he was all set to take on the notable SBG Ireland talent.
Currently on a two-fight losing skid, Silva (14-3) dropped unanimous decisions to both Court McGee and James Krause in his last outings.
