Making a memorable impression on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series even on short notice can be arduous for prospects on the fringe of breaking through the professional wall. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet the latest Winter Wrecker ready to hit the demolition switch and knock the opposition down like rows of dominos as the newest member of the UFC‘S Middleweight division. A professional mixed martial artist since June 2021 and representing Pura Vida BJJ and MMA, Nick Klein holds a 6-1 record in seven outings comprised of three submissions, two knockouts and one decision. Klein secured his UFC contract on the season finale of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series season eight in 2024.
