The 32-year-old Nash won eight of his
first nine professional outings before hitting a speed bump in the
Octagon. The East Lansing, Mich., native went 0-3 in the UFC in
2017, suffering a trio of KO/TKO losses at the hands of Jingliang
Li, Danny
Roberts and Kenan
Song.
Nash returned to action in 2019 and has since scored four
consecutive first-round finishes on the regional scene to run his
career mark to 12-4.
