LONDON – Gunnar Nelson returned from a two-and-a-half year layoff at UFC Fight Night 204 and had his way with Takashi Sato.
After various circumstances kept him out of the cage for the longest stretch of his career, Nelson (18-5-1 MMA, 9-5 UFC) came back and used his superior grappling to outwork Sato (16-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC) and secure a unanimous decision victory by three 30-26 scores.
The welterweight bout was part of the UFC Fight Night 204 main card at the O2. It streamed on ESPN+.
