NICK NEWELL IS fast becoming one of the most exciting fighters in mixed martial arts and he improved his career record to 10-0 on Saturday night in the World Series of Fighting.

Newell, who was born without an arm below his elbow, took down his opponent, Keon Caldwell, with a choke hold in the first round.

Impressive stuff.
