Kyle Nelson

155.

Kyle Nelson, Canada.

Christian Perez from-

You mean Kyle...

No, you're-

Kyle Nelson, I'm sorry, yes.

Who, what did I say?

No, you're, you're on the wrong fight.

I, I haven't actually even thought about it.

Christian Perez taking on Kyle Nelson here, Matty.

I...

Obviously, Kyle Nelson has had, I... maybe a, a much longer, uh, UFC tenure than I think any of us anticipated.

He's gotten some really nice wins over guys like, you know, Matt Frevola.

He got the Bill Algeo win back in the day.

Oddsmakers really like him as well, minus 375.

What do you think about, uh, this matchup?

You know what? I was carrying you.

I'm not number three in the Mega Powers.

I'm number one.

You're way out of line.

You guys got me in the backseat.

We have, of course, the Capitals at minus, uh...

Well, we took a money line.

I think we did a better number than minus 117, but we'll have to look that up.

Let's move on to the next fight here in the lightweight division.

It's a Canadian taking on the Mexican here in Christian Perez, excuse me, Kyle Nelson.

And that is, of course, the tale of the tape.

You see the age difference there, gentlemen.

especially in the men's division.

So, Adam, again, a little bit of the height advantage in Nelson, but what do you see in this lightweight bout?

I actually think Kyle Nelson is a pretty good fighter, but the problem with me is, first off, the age, but also he basically retired to do firefighting, and then he's come back from this fight.

That always worries me when a guy has his foot halfway out the door.

I can even see a little submission, a little Darce action, if you will.

All right, then we get into the lightweight, Kyle Nelson, Christian Perez.

I mean, I can be as quickly as you want me with this one.

Christian Perez is making his debut.

Of his 15 wins, 12 finishes, split 6-6 with knockouts and KOs.

This dude is a savage.

And for Kyle Nelson, he was just ran through by Terrence McKinney in March.

All right, it ran through.

Chris Prickett wrestled in university.

He's a high level college wrestler up in Canada, and now he is one of the owners of Niagara Top Team, the gym that has produced Mike Malott, obviously Jasmine Jasdavicius, Kyle Nelson, so on and so forth.

Excellent gym.

So she gets talking to him, and he's like, "Yeah, you know, I run this wrestling program, and I train fighters and drop by the gym sometimes." So she drops by the gym sometime and sees it and is like, "Hey, I like this," and basically picks up the sport later on in life with no previous background through the coaching and guidance of a great mind like Chris Prickett at the gym.

[laughs]

Um, moving on down.

We've got, uh, Christian Perez taking on Kyle Nelson.

I'm sure Cody's gonna have some long-winded reason and, you know, "I really respect this guy.

If he doesn't, the UFC should definitely reconsider on where their position is on Ionut.

Next fight up is Kyle Nelson versus Christian Perez.

Who you got?

I have Christian Perez to win this one.

Kyle Nelson has been knocked out in two of his last three fights.

And now we have Christian Perez, that they're obviously trying to get up there in the ranks.

You have to go through some of these veterans, and the 155 division is so packed with killers.

But when he went up against Logan Paxton, honestly, Logan Paxton was a, an absolute animal in that fight.
