Nikita Kulshin knocks out Junior Melo in LFA, calls out UFC on six-fight streak

Lightweight Nikita Kulshin improved his undefeated record to 9-0 by knocking out Junior Melo in the first round at an LFA event. The 26-year-old fighter from North Ossetia has been living in the United States for four years and trains at Kill Cliff gym. This marks his sixth consecutive victory in LFA over three years, with his previous four wins coming by decision and his LFA debut ending in knockout. After the fight, Kulshin took the microphone and called out the UFC, stating he is ready to step in on short notice at any time. His perfect record and finishing ability in a major feeder league position him as a strong prospect for UFC consideration.
