BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – Nick Newell ’s story has been well-documented over the span of his career. Born a congenital amputee without a fully formed left hand and forearm, he hasn’t let that define who he is as a fighter – or as a person. After his win over Corey Browning (5-3 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) at Bellator 225 this past Saturday, Newell (16-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) got a message from his childhood inspiration, former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Abbott. Well done @NotoriousNewell . Damn it you're just the best.
