SBG fighter Gunnar Nelson has been added to the UFC 189 on July 11th. That is, of course, the card which will feature the much-anticipated title bout between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor.
The Icelandic welterweight will face Englishman John 'The Hitman' Hathaway who is 17-2 in his MMA career.
Nelson, whose record stands at 13-1-1, has not fought since a split decision loss to Rick Story in Stockholm back in October.
