The style
Nick Galanti is a 28-year-old middleweight out of Freehold, New Jersey, training at Dante Rivera BJJ, who left behind a six-figure career in concrete and high-rise construction to fight full-time. He made a statement on Dana White's Contender Series in August 2026, knocking out Carlos Petruzzella in just 35 seconds to earn a UFC contract. A submission-heavy finisher, four of his eight professional wins have come by tap-out, two by knockout and two by decision, with his only loss coming by decision. He built his name on the regional New Jersey and Pennsylvania circuit, including a run through Cage Fury Fighting Championships.
