Personality.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>These are just some of the variables that the Ultimate Fighting Championship takes into consideration when evaluating up-and-coming fighters, all part of a mysterious formula that determines when and to whom they offer new contracts. It can be a daunting and discouraging prospect for the young men and women looking to compete in the largest and most recognized mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion in the world, waiting for a call that might never come.<\/p>\n<p>So Kyle Nelson decided to send a message of his own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time!\u201d Nelson yelled into the microphone after his most recent fight, a first-round knockout at the BTC 1 promotion in Toronto last month. \u201cIt\u2019s time to get the Monster in that cage, so he can start dropping those UFC bums like that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A brazen statement, and perhaps a little out of character for the typically quiet Huntsville man who usually lets his fighting do the talking for him, but it\u2019s not one he regrets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was the heat of the moment, I had a lot of adrenaline going from winning the fight so fast,\u201d said Nelson afterwards. \u201cI had 1,500 people chanting \u2018UFC\u2019, and with so many friends and family and fans in the crowd, I got a little riled up. But I believe everything I said, and I do feel that it is time, it\u2019s time that the UFC has taken notice and hopefully this sends the message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fight went exactly as planned according to The Monster, who recorded the knockout via punches over opponent Khama Worthy a mere 1:03 into the first round for his fifth straight victory. With his professional record improving to 11-1, and several important wins coming against recognizable opponents in the MMA circuit, Nelson\u2019s name is firmly in the conversation as one of the best \u2013 if not <em>the<\/em> best &#8211; featherweights in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say they\u2019re right,\u201d Nelson said simply of the label as Canada\u2019s top 145-pound fighter.<\/p>\n<p>Things have been going his way since defeating fellow Canadian Justin Bourgeois by knockout in the Elite 1 MMA promotion \u2018Meltdown\u2019 in New Brunswick. It was a bounce back win for Nelson, who was coming off his only professional loss after he moved up a weight class for a short notice fight against Adrian Hadribeaj. While the defeat marred an otherwise perfect professional fighting record, Nelson was able to learn and grow from the experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt educated me on some of the finer points fighting, obviously not to go up a weight class and fight somebody else in their hometown, and just to be a little bit smarter about taking silly fights,\u201d said Nelson. \u201cAdrian normally fights at 170 pounds and came down, then he missed weight. There were a lot of signs that told me I probably shouldn\u2019t have taken the fight but I wanted to fight anyways so I went in and did it. I definitely learned from that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nelson, who trains at House of Champions in Hamilton and Para Bellum in Oakville when he\u2019s not at 24 Hour Fitness in Huntsville, hasn\u2019t lost a fight since.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having the momentum once again firmly in his favour, the Huntsville native is taking a cautious approach to the idea of being included on the UFC\u2019s next Canadian card, UFC 216 in Edmonton this September. The event already features a featherweight bout between Canadian Gavin Tucker and Rick Glenn, which could have Nelson waiting in the wings for a call up should either fighter drop out prior to the match. That being said, Nelson remembers all too well the disappointment of not being included in the promotion&#8217;s last venture into Canadian territory, UFC 206 in December 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought back when UFC was coming to Toronto was my best shot and nothing came of that,\u201d he recalls. \u201cIt\u2019s so up in the air, but at least with another \u201945-pound fight on the card if one of them gets injured I assume I would be the next in line. But you never know what the UFC has got in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MMA commentator and analyst Robin Black echoed the sentiment to Sportsnet reporter James Lynch after the BTC 1 fight, when asked if Nelson\u2019s next fight should be in the UFC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should be. Nelson is one of these guys, I\u2019ve see him at the gym for years and he\u2019s always very good, but on fight night, he\u2019s ultra-good. He\u2019s a game day performer,\u201d said Black.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did text Sean Shelby and said, \u2018Dude, he just won <em>again<\/em> in the first round,\u2019\u201d Black continued, referring to the current UFC matchmaker in charge of setting up the promotion\u2019s fight cards. \u201cIf I\u2019m Sean Shelby, I\u2019m signing him. But there\u2019s a million moving parts. Should Kyle Nelson fight in the UFC next? Yes, he should. Will he? I don\u2019t know, man, there\u2019s a lot of things going on. If he doesn\u2019t get a call in the next two months he can go and knock out another guy and he\u2019ll be there soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nelson disclosed his manager has also been in contact with the UFC matchmaker for several months, sending footage of his fights with every victory The Monster records. But until that call comes, Nelson is going to continue focusing on the other elements of the equation: training and looking for additional opportunities to showcase his skill-set, growing his social media accounts, and doing what he does best \u2013 knocking people out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
