Gunnar Nelson Doesn’t Mind Flying Under the Radar With UFC Fight Night 113 Bout

Gunnar Nelson spoke with Conor McGregor ahead of his fight with Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC Fight Night 113. The highlights are below:

On his fight not getting the media attention of McGregor & Mayweather: “I don’t mind. I’ll be doing my thing here on Sunday night, and that’s all I really care about. I definitely enjoy watching Conor doing his thing. … I definitely enjoy hanging around with them, but I’m happy here (in Scotland).”

On wanting to face bigger names: “I was hoping to get somebody in the top rankings this time. Last time, I was supposed to have a top-10 ranked guy. They said after that one, I’d definitely get it this time, but there was nobody available to fight. I wanted to be on this card. Eventually they just said, ‘Here’s Ponzinibbio, he’s ready to take it.’”
