TORONTO – UFC welterweight Gunnar Nelson was firing on all cylinders in advance of a meeting against Neil Magny at UFC Fight Night 130. Then the injury bug bit. Not only was Nelson (16-3-1 MMA, 7-3 UFC) forced to rehabilitate his knee, but he couldn’t help his longtime training partner Conor McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) for a pivotal fight against lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) at UFC 229. “I could have maybe done some right at the end, but he had everything planned out,” said Nelson, who on Saturday meets Alex Oliveira (19-5-1 MMA, 9-3 UFC) at UFC 231, which takes place at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario.
