Nick Newell has been quiet for the last 10 months or so, but don’t expect that to continue. The lightweight veteran who long lobbied for a shot at the UFC – but was generally rebuffed because he is a congenital amputee – was given his opportunity at this past July’s Dana White’s Contender Series 14 event, but he came up short, suffering a decision loss to Alex Munoz. “People have their good days and bad days, and when it counted, I didn’t get the ‘W,’” Newell recently told MMA Junkie Radio. “I thought it was a good fight. It was a competitive fight, but there were little areas where I faltered, and he was a little bit better. That’s the way things go, but I still know that I’m elite.
