After two years off from mixed martial arts, Nick Newell (14-1) didn’t waste any time submitting Sonny Luque (10-7) with a neck crank 2:10 into the first round of the main event on AXS TV FIGHTS: LEGACY FIGHTING ALLIANCE 35 on Friday night in Houston, Texas.
Even before the fight, Newell was proclaiming himself ready for a run at the big show. After Friday night’s first-round finish, it is going to be more and more difficult for the UFC to deny him.
Earlier in the night, Adrian Yanez (7-2) also scored an highlight-reel finish, knocking out Natan Trepagnier (4-4, 1 NC) with seconds left in the first round.
