In his first fight in more than eight months, New Hampshire’s Nick Alley earned the biggest win of his career Wednesday night on UFC FIGHT PASS®.
Alley (7-3) pulled off the upset over previously-unbeaten welterweight prospect John Gotti III (5-1) in the main event of CES MMA 61 from "The Tent" at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick, RI. A skilled grappler and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt, Alley dominated the fight on the ground over the final two rounds to earn the 29-28, 29-28, 29-27 unanimous decision win.
The event streamed live on FIGHT PASS, the promotion’s first since January due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gotti, who last fought in January, had won four bouts by first-round knockout to open his pro career and recently went the distance in a win over Marcos Lloreda, but failed to mount much of an offensive attack against Alley. The 29-year-old Hooksett native controlled the pace over the final two rounds, nearly locking in a triangle choke on several occasions, but ultimately playing it safe down the stretch to earn the victory on the scorecards. Alley has now won four in a row.
