Nick Newell has defeated every fighter he has faced inside the cage, becoming a submission specialist on the way to a lightweight championship. Newell was born with only one fully developed arm, due to a birth condition known as congenital amputation and his left arm stops about three inches past the elbow.”I feel like being the one-handed fighter isn’t what defines me,” he said. “It’s just a part of who I am. It’s the part that sticks out and people want to pay attention to. But when they actually see me fight, they’ll know it’s so much more than that,” Newell stated. Newell (11-0) is set to fight World Series of Fighting lightweight champion Justin Gaethje (11-0) on Saturday for the Las Vegas-based promotion’s debut on NBC.
