Rick Story removed Gunnar Nelson from the ranks of the unbeaten with a convincing-split decision victory in the UFC Fight Night 53 headliner. The first main event of Story’s (18-8 MMA, 11-6 UFC) 17-fight UFC tenure saw him emerge with his most significant victory in more than three years, and he outworked Nelson (13-1-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) over five rounds in dominant fashion. “The Horror” had alternated wins and losses over his previous eight bouts, but now with two consecutive victories to his name, the 30-year-old is building some momentum in a wide-open weight class. As Story picked up his latest octagon win, fans, media members and others in the MMA community followed along on Twitter. Check below for the top reactions from Story vs. Nelson at UFC Fight Night 53
