Four more fighters were awarded UFC contracts after their victories on Week 3 of the Contender Series Season 8 last night.
Andrey Pulyaev and Bodgan Grad both claimed their spot in the UFC via decision wins, while Marco Tulio and Malcolm Wellmaker earned their places with decisive finishes, including Tulio delivering an impressive TKO courtesy of a spinning back kick to the liver.
The only fight not to produce a new UFC fighter was Nick Piccininni’s split-decision win over Jack Duffy as Dana White disagreed with the result and opted to re-book the fight for a future episode of DWCS.
Check out the results and highlight clips below.
