(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) There was a lot of violence traded between Jai Herbert and Mandel Nallo for a fight that lasted just over two minutes. In the end, Herbert survived the storm and caught Nallo with a big right hand that dropped his opponent to the canvas.
He didn’t let Nallo get back up, earning a TKO stoppage at 2:05 of round one. “Yo Canada, you enjoyed that or wha? ” Herbert yelled to a largely unresponsive crowd (Nallo fights out of Vancouver).
“Canada, is that $100 grand or what? C’mon, help me out! ” “I was coming here to get the finish and that was it,” he added.
“So when he hurt me four times, I knew I was gonna get the finish. He backed me up, and I knew I’d get the counter. ” The victory puts Herbert back in the win column after a split decision loss to Chris Padilla in March 2025.
It’s been a rough five years for Jai, who is now 4-4-1 over that time period. That was Mandel Nallo’s UFC debot after punching his ticket to the big league off a first round TKO on Contender Series in September 2025. The loss drops him to 14-4 in MMA.
