Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 2 took place at The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas Tuesday night, with Sean O’Malley coming away as the night’s big winner.
While O’Malley was one of three fighters to score an impressive finish in his bout, he was the only fighter to receive a contract offer from UFC president Dana White following the conclusion of the show. O’Malley earned his contract with a one-punch finish of Alfred Khashakyan in the very first round.
O’Malley, who trains out of the MMA Lab in Glendale, Arizona, now holds a professional record of 8-0 at just 22 years old.
Here’s the impressive finish that earned O’Malley his UFC contract:
