The read
Nallo's perfect finishing record is the headline story here, and he will look to add to it early.
But Landwehr has been in deep water with elite competition before and brings a style built to survive early storms and wear opponents down.
If Nallo's power translates against a bigger, more experienced opponent, his streak continues; if it doesn't, Landwehr's pace could be the first man to take him to a decision.
The matchup
This pairs a finishing prospect who has literally never seen a judges' scorecard against a durable, high-output veteran making a weight-class jump.
Nallo's power and finishing instincts make him a live threat to end this early, while Landwehr's volume, pressure and experience mean he is never out of the fight even if the pace slows.
The move up to lightweight is the biggest variable for Landwehr's chances.

The fighters
Mandel Nallo 14-4
“Mango”
Mandel 'Mango' Nallo is a Montreal-born Canadian lightweight whose professional record includes a no-contest not reflected in his 14-4 win-loss mark. Remarkably, none of his 18 career fights have ever reached a judges' scorecard — every one of his 14 wins has come by knockout or submission, including a run of five straight first-round stoppages that helped earn him his UFC contract off Dana White's Contender Series. He looks to keep that finishing streak alive against veteran Nate Landwehr in Edmonton.

“The Train”
Nate 'The Train' Landwehr is an American UFC veteran known for a relentless, high-output pressure style, with nine of his eighteen career wins coming by knockout. A longtime featherweight fixture on the roster, he moves up to lightweight facing undefeated-in-the-UFC prospect Mandel Nallo in Edmonton, a step-up assignment for a fighter looking to prove his style translates at 155 pounds.
