Lightweight Nikita Kulshin (9-0) scored a first-round knockout victory over Junior Melo (15-9-1) at an LFA event. This marks Kulshin's sixth consecutive victory in LFA over three years, with his previous four wins coming by decision and his debut via knockout. The 26-year-old fighter from North Ossetia has been living in the United States for four years and trains at Kill Cliff gym. Following the victory, Kulshin took the microphone and called out the UFC, stating he is ready to fight on short notice at any time. His undefeated record and LFA success position him as a potential UFC prospect.
