Gunnar Nelson may have been gone for a time, but he has certainly not been forgotten.
“Gunni” will cross the threshold into the Octagon for the first time in two years, five months and 19 days when he locks horns with Sanford MMA’s Takashi Sato in a UFC Fight Night 204 welterweight feature on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London. Nelson, 33, owns an 8-5 record in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and enters the cage on the heels of back-to-back losses. He last appeared at UFC Fight Night 160, where he dropped a unanimous decision to Gilbert Burns on Sept.
