Nick Newell posted on facebook that he's down to replace Proctor and face Iaquinta.
I think the UFC should give him his chance! 
Would be awesome.
And like he posted on twitter a few days ago while watching the Papy Abedi vs. Besam Yousef fight...
Those guys are have a UFC contract fighting like that, and he don't?
Nick Newell should be in the UFC. Give him a chance.
He's close to NJ, he's undefeated 9-0 (2 KOs, 6 Subs) he's the XFC Champion, he's down to scrap AND he can make a hell of a story. COMON DANA!!
Great fight.. ! If he has a good win dana surely has to take notice 
Hah both fighters with the "Notorious" nickname have offered to take it
Newell and McGregor
BiggRiggWreckedGQ - Hah both fighters with the "Notorious" nickname have offered to take itEither would be great!!
Newell and McGregor
Nick is a friend on my FB and when I saw this I said " hell yeah." Come on uncle Dana!!!
If McGregor doesn't get the shot, I'm all for this.
SIGNED BIG TIME
Give Nick Newell whoever he wants...

I'd rather Nick get the shot, McGregor should be saved for Boston and at FW, no need to start jumping divs. I like his attitude though, he wants to fight, doesnt care who which is cool.
Pride Wanderlei -UGCTT_Pervert - If McGregor doesn't get the shot, I'm all for this.Save Mcgregor for the Boston card
Hell, throw him on that card too! I'm sure McGregor would be all for that.
If the same Al shows up as his last fight, nick stands a good chance of picking up the w
WAR NEWELL!!!
Do it, uncle Dana!
Let's hope he did more than just post it on facebook. It seems like Connor McGregor is also campaigning for that slot.
Given Connor's recent high profile, Nick should be on Dana and Joe's ass driving them crazy telling them he wants the fight.
I hope he gets it. I'm liking this recent period of time where guys are actually saying they want to fight someone, instead of the stock, "I'll leave it in Joe and Dana's hands".
I would love to see this kid in the UFC. Give him a chance..SHIT you put a fat TURD in james toney and paid him 500k nick deserves a chance and wouldnt cost the UFC nothing..it could be a win win situation. Its not like hes gonna get his only arm ripped off hes not fighting ronda!
Signed!!
Newel def deserves it
if anyone has watched his fights his arm isn't a handicap to him
seems like he's learned to used it as an advantage
Ttt!!
