Lightweight Nikita Kulshin improved his undefeated record to 9-0 with a first-round knockout victory over Junior Melo at an LFA event. This marks Kulshin's sixth consecutive win in the LFA promotion over three years, following four straight decision victories and his debut 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. After the victory, Kulshin took the microphone and called out the UFC, declaring his readiness to fight on short notice. His impressive winning streak and finishing ability position him as a strong prospect for UFC consideration.
