Nick Klein's UFC career could be over after his second consecutive Octagon loss.
The 29-year-old earned a UFC contract after obtaining an entry of 37 seconds on the Scingers series in October 2024.
'Blue Collar' started well before he fell on a second round entry defeat when he made his UFC debut against Mansur Abdul-Malik earlier this year.
It was a similar story when he went with Andrey Pulyaev on UFC Vegas 108 on Saturday evening.

Fans call that Nick is cut Klein
Klein came out strong before he faded poorly in the second round of his fight with Pulyaev.
Eventually he collapsed on the floor after eating a mean body staircase and punches of the 10-3 Russian.
It was not small, but he chose to cover and wait for the referee to step in and saved him.
A combination of his bad gas tank and clear willingness to give up has made some UFC fans angry.
Many of them went to social media to tell UFC CEO Dana White to cut small out of the selection.
“Nick Klein is f – the occurrence of terrible LMFAO -Kerel immediately went down,” said a fan. While another added: “Fighter removed Nick Klein.”
“Cut Nick Klein Bro was hit with 5 strikes and clearly stopped brittle no hunter who sent his A – back to the construction,” a third fan begged.
“@UFC Cut nick Klein my God,” someone else wrote.
“Nick Klein is finished -Together a– B -,” Another X user rumbled.
“Cut Nick Klein before he leaves the Octagon #UFCVEGAS108.”
