Mandel Nallo defeated Nate Landwehr by TKO (strikes) at 0:47 of Round 2 on the UFC Edmonton card at Rogers Place. The stoppage came on the main card, ahead of the Buckley vs. Malott main event.
Mandel Nallo ended Nate Landwehr's night early at UFC Edmonton, finishing him by TKO (strikes) 47 seconds into the second round at Rogers Place. The stoppage came on the main card, ahead of the Buckley vs. Malott main event.
Nallo, 37, moves to 14-4 with the win. The orthodox striker stands six feet tall with a 75-inch reach, and his numbers show a fighter who lives on his hands: he lands 8.61 significant strikes per minute at 62 percent accuracy. He does not rely on grappling, with no takedown or submission attempts recorded in his averages. In Edmonton, that striking-first profile produced the finish.
Landwehr, a 38-year-old American who trains out of MMA Masters, falls to 18-8. Nicknamed "The Train," he is also an orthodox fighter, giving up two inches in height at five-foot-nine and three inches of reach at 72 inches. He is known for pace, landing 5.63 significant strikes per minute at 45 percent accuracy. He has also mixed in some wrestling and submission threat, averaging 0.76 takedowns and 0.8 submission attempts per 15 minutes. Neither was enough to change the course of this fight.
Why it matters
- Nallo's finish was a clean, decisive result against an experienced opponent on a main-card slot.
- The numbers pointed to a striking contest, and Nallo's higher output and accuracy carried through to the stoppage.
- The loss adds to Landwehr's record at 38, with his eight defeats now outnumbering the single-digit mark he held before Edmonton.
The fight ended early in the second round, leaving little time for Landwehr to turn the bout into the grappling-mixed brawl he has favored in the past.
