Background and early career
Nicolas Dalby started learning karate as a teen to defend himself against bullies. He moved from Sønderborg to Copenhagen to be around his friends. After 5 years of training karate, he started training in Rumble Sports, one of the biggest MMA gyms in Copenhagen. Dalby was quickly recognized for his powerful striking and knockout power. He became one of the most feared strikers in Europe after lots of brutal knockouts.[2][3][4][5]
Cage Warriors Fighting Championship
In 2014, Dalby gained two victories in the Cage Warriors, including a TKO stoppage of Sergei Churilov to earn the CWFC Welterweight Championship.[6][7]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Dalby made his promotional UFC debut against Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos on 30 May 2015 at UFC Fight Night 67.[8] He won the fight via split decision.[9]
Dalby next faced Darren Till on 24 October 2015 at UFC Fight Night 76.[10] The bout ended in a majority draw.[11] Both fighters were awarded with Fight of the Night honors.[12]
Dalby was expected to face Bartosz Fabinski on 10 April 2016 at UFC Fight Night 86.[13] However, on March 2, Fabiński was removed from the card due to undisclosed reasons and replaced by Zak Cummings.[14] Dalby lost the fight via unanimous decision.[15]
Dalby next faced Peter Sobotta on 3 September 2016 at UFC Fight Night 93.[16] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[17]
