LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Tuesday’s Dana White’s Contender Series 47 event.
Dana White’s Contender Series cards see prospects fighting for the opportunity to sign a UFC deal, with UFC president Dana White on hand to make the decisions.
The first week of the sixth season saw four bouts of action after one bout was lost on Monday. In the featured bout, Joe Pyfer (9-2) recorded the only finish of the evening by knocking out Ozzy Diaz (5-2) in the second round of their middleweight clash.
For his intensity, effort, and of course, the emphatic finish, White awarded Pyfer with the only contract of the night. The UFC boss also relayed a firey message to all future DWCS participants, encouraging them to bring their best game to leave an impression.
