• MMA record: 19-5-1

The Godfather of Icelandic MMA, Gunnar Nelson, is the best known fighter to ever emerge from the island.

The 36-year-old welterweight is not the most active fighter on the UFC roster, but rides a two-fight winning streak. During the years he faced the likes of Demian Maia, Leon Edwards, Gilbert Burns and Bryan Barberena, and collected five post-fight bonuses.

We hope to see Nelson back in the cage as soon as possible!
