Icelandic MMA champion Gunnar Nelson beat Russian champion Albert Tumenov last night at the UFC 87 championship in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
"Every fight is unique to me. I want to dedicate tonight's win to my mother. It's mother's day. I love you," said a happy Nelson after the fight.
Nelson lost his last fight to Demian Maia but this time he beat his opponent in the second round.
