Gunnar Nelson is “feeling at home” in Las Vegas, as he has set up camp for the last month in the Conor McGregor mansion. “I’m in the shape of my life” says Nelson that seems more relaxed (yes, this is possible) at media day, taking a back seat to his main event duties he carried last October.

“I just had breakfast” says Gunni as he talks to MMAViking.com about his reaction in his opponent change for his UFC 189 main card bout with Brandon Thatch. “Opponents change every single time.” laughs the welterweight.

“I’m going to in and finish this fight” says the SBGi / Mjolnir fighter.

“It’ll be smaller than most of the shows, basically get all of Iceland there.” says Nelson about the opportunity to propel this win into a potential UFC in Iceland.
