An American woman has disclosed that she named her baby boy Gunnar, after Icelandic MMA champion Gunnar Nelson.
The woman, named Stephanie Ann Kenealy wrote that after a few months of name searching, one night after watching Gunnar Nelson fight they decided to name their baby boy Gunnar.
"GUNNAR JAMES KENEALY was born 7/25/2015 and he is a fighter and he has no clue yet... he has yet to leave the hospital. He is extremely sick and the doctors can not figure it out yet. After watching the last UFC I decided to post this. Congrats on your last fight! I hope you have a great career!"
Gunnar Nelson shared the Keaney's post on his Facebook page and wrote, "What a beautiful boy. I'm honoured to bear the same name as he. Keep fighting buddy. My thoughts are with you and your family."
