Nick Klein’s UFC career could be over after his second successive Octagon loss.

The 29-year-old earned a UFC contract after picking up a 37-second submission win on the Contenders Series in October 2024.

‘Blue Collar’ started well before falling to a second round Mansur Abdul-Malik submission defeat when he made his UFC debut earlier this year.

It was a similar story when he squared off against Andrey Pulyaev at UFC Vegas 108 on Saturday night.

Fans call for Nick Klein to be cut

Klein came out strong before fading badly in the second round of his fight with Pulyaev.

Ultimately, he collapsed to the floor after eating a vicious body kick and punches from the 10-3 Russian.

Klein wasn’t out cold, but he chose to cover up and wait for the referee to step in and save him.

A combination of his poor gas tank and apparent willingness to give up has angered some UFC fans.

Many of them took to social media to tell UFC CEO Dana White to cut Klein from the roster.

“Nick Klein is f—ing awful lmfao dude went down instantly,” one fan said. While another added: “Fighter removed: Nick Klein.”

“Cut nick klein bro got hit with 5 strikes and quit bros clearly not a fighter send his a– back to construction,” a third fan begged.

“@ufc please cut Nick Klein my god,” someone else wrote.

“Nick Klein is a f—ing quitter a– b—,” another X user fumed.

“Cut Nick Klein before he leaves the octagon #UFCVegas108.”
