Nick Newell’s aspirations for a UFC career took a hit today when the lightweight fell short against Alex Munoz at Dana White’s Contender Series 14.

After a solid career, Newell (14-2) finally got an opportunity to prove he belongs in the UFC with the matchup against Munoz (5-0). He put up a valiant effort over three rounds, but ultimately was outgunned in convincing fashion with a unanimous decision loss in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed bout from The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Munoz’s victory over Newell at Dana White’s Contender Series 14.

Anyone smart knows @NickNewellMovie is legit … let’s see how he takes advantage of this fight.

They matched Newell very tough, other Contender fighters got easy, soft matches. I have a feeling they don’t really want him in the UFC.

Close first-round between Newell and Munoz. Slightly edge it to Munoz but he’s got to deal with those kicks at some point.

One of my favorite things about the #ContenderSeries is it’s so quiet in the cage that cornermen have to whisper to coach their fighters.

Newell bleeding from his left eye after getting tagged with a huge shot. Newell again hurt from a shot. Munoz in side control landing strikes.

Seems almost as if Munoz had a bit of adrenaline dump when he dropped nick

— ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) July 25, 2018

20-18 Munoz after two.

Newell needs a finish in the third and Munoz wants a contract, he likely needs one too.

— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) July 25, 2018

20-18 Munoz.

He’s a lot better than I essentially was guessing he’d be. #ContenderSeries

That choke was tight. Credit to Munoz for scrambling out.

— Luke Thomas (@lthomasnews) July 25, 2018

Munoz is tough, I thought nick had that choke

Respect to Nick Newell he’s an inspiration and a warrior heart of a lion

Newell is tough as all hell. But he’s outgunned against Munoz. Bleeding bad from the nose. #DWTNCS

Nick Newell is gonna come up short in his bid to make the UFC. Alex Munoz should take a decision after three rounds. Newell got a shot, that’s all he said he wanted. Was still walking Munoz down, spewing blood form his mouth in the third round. Hat tip to both.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) July 25, 2018

Hats off to Nick Newell, super tough kid, full of heart. Props to Ali and Dana for giving him a chance.

— Daniel Rubenstein (@dannyrube) July 25, 2018

Fuck yeah! Great fight Alex!!

— Chas Skelly (@ChasSkelly) July 25, 2018

Nick Newell showed himself to be a fighter, period, not a fighter with a disability. And that’s what he wanted from this opportunity. Good job by him, and good job by Alex Munoz, who was simply too much to handle.

— Jeff Wagenheim (@jeffwagenheim) July 25, 2018

Very proud of you @NotoriousNewell !!! You are a beast brother!!! What you just did with one arm 99% of the people in the world can’t do with two @ufc #dwcs

— Marlon Moraes (@MMARLONMORAES) July 25, 2018

Munoz across the cards for me, which is a tough shake for Newell, who gave everything he could muster tonight. #ContenderSeries
