VANCOUVER – Even though Nick Newell is quickly becoming one of MMA’s must-see athletes, “Notorious” refuses to buy into his own hype. Newell (11-0) added another impressive victory to his undefeated record on Saturday when he submitted Sabah Fadai (7-3) in the first round with a standing guillotine choke at World Series of Fighting 7 in Vancouver. The victory, which took place at PNE Agrodome and aired on NBC Sports Network, marked the 10th first-round finish in 11 career wins for Newell, a resume that stands out to even the most casual of fans. While his status as a frequent first-round finisher continues to grow, Newell brushes off any expectations that come along with his fighting style and says he only takes what his opponents give him. “I never expect to finish anyone within a certain timeframe,” Newell told MMAjunkie after his WSOF 7 victory.
