Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight phenom Gunnar Nelson will try to get back into the 170-pound title chase when he takes on perennial division contender Dong Hyun Kim at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 99 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on Nov. 19, 2016, in Belfast, Ireland.
Nelson (15-2-1) won 13 fights en route to becoming one of the division's most promising prospects; however, "Gunni" was tripped up by Rick Story in late 2014 and has since alternated wins and losses, most recently submitting Albert Tumenov at UFC Fight Night 87 back in May.
Kim (21-3-1, 1 NC), meanwhile, has quietly put together a two-fight winning streak -- both finishes -- after getting iced by Tyron Woodley in Aug.
