Dawson says earning a UFC contract was a longtime goal of his (Heidi Fang/Las Vegas Review-Journal)
In the sixth week of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, two more fighters earned their way into the UFC by putting on exciting performances.
UFC featherweight Grant Dawson submitted Adrian Diaz with a rear-naked choke to secure a contract.
Charles Byrd was the first fighter to compete twice on the series. In the first week, he finished Jamie Pickett, but wasn’t signed to the promotion. This time, the middleweight submitted Randall Wallace with a rear-naked choke to make it to the UFC.
