Nikita Kulshin KOs Junior Melo in LFA, calls out UFC for opportunity

Undefeated Russian lightweight Nikita Kulshin improved to 9-0 by knocking out Junior Melo early in the first round at an LFA event. The 26-year-old from North Ossetia, who has been living in the United States for four years, has now won all six of his LFA fights over the past three years. After four consecutive decision victories in LFA, this marked his second knockout win in the promotion. Following the victory, Kulshin grabbed the microphone and called out the UFC, stating he is ready to step in on short notice at any time. He trains at Kill Cliff gym and continues to build his case for a UFC contract.
