Atlantic City – Coming off a big victory at UFC Atlantic City featherweight Kyle Nelson is looking for a big fight against Nate Landwehr next.
“Nate has been on my radar for a long time. We fought on UFC Vancouver in Canada together,” Nelson told reporters including Cageside Press on Saturday night.
“All the 145ers are on my radar. Nate had a good performance tonight. He likes to stand and bang, I like to stand and bang, so it makes sense to me.”
Nelson (16-5-1) scored a big finish over Bill Algeo later in the night, but Landwehr’s performance intrigued ‘The Monster’.
“It’s probably going to be pretty similar to the one that I just had. Nate’s also a very tough guy. I think I’m going to hit him with some hard shots, and this time we’ll see him go to sleep,” he said.
The Canadian featherweight took the brunt of the boos from the crowd before, during and after the fight.
“Once upon a time I wanted to please everybody, but that’s just not the game. I’m always the away guy I’m never going to please anybody. As long as my coaches are happy, my fiance, my kids, my family is happy, that’s the only people I care about,” Nelson said.
“I want to be super respectful with my opponent, but if you’re some drunk guy in the crowd and you want to boo, you’re going to get a piece of my mind.”
