Former UFC and PFL fighter Alex Nicholson took part in two battles at the XFC 52 event in Iowa City last month.
Nicholson, a 13-year veteran of the sport, stepped into the cage on March 28th for a crash with Darion Abbey inside the Xtream Arena, just two miles away from the University of Iowa.
Unfortunately for Nicholson, it was a short night as the monastery finished him past the opening round’s one minute mark.
As Nicholson headed back, fans called the fighter “p*ssy” and approached him looking for a handshake before warning him that he had quit. Initially, Nicholson began to leave, but soon turned around and threw his right hand.
Then a complete battle broke up with two swing fists. Nicholson has been kicked out and he can hear him scream “I can’t see.” Take a look at the entire chaotic scene below.
This loss fell to 17-11, 2-3 overall for Nicholson in his last five.
Nicholson competed easily in both the UFC and PFL, going 4-7 combined
Nicoloson, also known as “Spartan,” has faced prominent names throughout his mixed martial arts career, including Chris Burnett, Chase Sherman, Ricco Rodriguez, Zach Pauga and Balter Walker.
Nicholson competed temporarily under the UFC banner, making it 1-4 with losses against Misha Chilknov, Sam Alvie and Jack Hermanson. A year later he was signed by the PFL, but he wasn’t that good in the smart cage.
During another short promotional stint, “Spartans” went 3-4 before finishing the PFL after testing positive for multiple anabolic steroids due to an October 31 defeat against Franciser Barroso at PFL 2019, making the playoffs 3.
