Nick Newell is hoping to make history as the first congenital amputee to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Newell, who previously fought in promotions like Cage Titans, XFC, World Series of Fighting, and Legacy Fighting, will attempt to earn a UFC contract when he steps into the octagon at Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 14 on Tuesday, July 24 against Alex Munoz.
Newell holds a professional record of 14-1 and knows he is entering the biggest fight of his career, but he has a calm mindset going into the opportunity.
“I don’t make a big deal out of anything,” Newell said in an interview with MMAjunkie.com. “But obviously stakes for this are pretty high, and it’s a fight that could change my life. I realize that and I realized that in preparation for this fight, and I did everything I could. I’m just here to win. I’m not worried about anything else. I’ve been judged my whole life in people’s opinions and I’m just here to perform and just do what I do, and that’s fight, and win.”
