UFC returned to San Diego with a UFC Fight Night show that came after nearly 7 years. The co-main event bout was between featherweight prospect David Onama and veteran Nate Landwehr. After suffering an early adversary, ‘The Train’ had all the answers for the young prospect. Landwehr (34) defeated the 28-year-old Uganda-born fighter via majority decision.
The Glory MMA and Fitness gym representative, Onama, was on a two-fight win streak after losing his debut bout. Both victories came by finishes. Even Landwehr finished his last bout. And after a couple of cancelations, the MMA MASTERS product finally showcased how exciting a Nate ‘The Train’ Landwehr bout could be.

Landwehr is nuts. Suddenly this is a fight again. And Onama may have lost a little steam at the end of that round.

Rule number 1…don’t punch yourself out against Nate The Train. This fight is fun. Onama’s crisp striking. Nate’s gas tank. #UFCSanDiego

Onama's body language was a little scary in between rounds. I personally don't think he should be fighting anymore.
