Veteran welterweight contender, Gunnar Nelson is set to make his return from a 2-year layoff in March, marking his return to action at UFC London, in a pairing against recent UFC 311 main card feature, Kevin Holland.
Nelson, a former ranked welterweight in the promotion’s welterweight division, has been sidelined from the Octagon since he most recently featured in a clash with Bryan Barberena at UFC 286, taking home an impressive first round armbar submission win in a Performance of the Night bonus display.
As for Riverside native, Holland, the perennial challenger makes his second walk so far this year already, having dropped a dominant opening round submission loss to former two-weight ONE Championship gold holder, Reinier de Ridder at UFC 311 in California.
