A Last Look Back at Gunnar Nelson’s UFC 189 Experience

Gunnar Nelson returned to top form in his dominant performance over Brandon Thatch Saturday night in Las Vegas in what president Dana White called the biggest UFC ever.  Let’s take a look back of the best of Gunni’s Instagram pics –including Mjolnir coach Jón Viðar Arnþórsson and MMAViking.com– that best captured the magical experience, from the training in Mexico, the Macmansion with Conor McGregor, to the post-fight celebration.
