DWCS fighter Dana White told would get ‘absolutely decimated’ in the UFC finally earns a contract after his third attempt

After picking up a submission win on the last season of Dana White’s Contender Series, Torrez Finney was told by the UFC boss to go back to the regional scene to pick up some more experience before returning this year. Torrez Finney then went on to pick up just one more win on the regional scene before being offered another opportunity on Dana White’s Contender Series this season but after picking up a decision win, he wasn’t given a contract. Dana White expressed his disappointment with Finney that he didn’t go and fight multiple times when he was told by White to go and get some more experience, and he brutally told him he would get ‘absolutely decimated’ in the UFC .

Torrez Finney finally earns UFC contract after third DWCS win Despite White’s brutal honesty with Finney, the UFC brass decided to give him another opportunity on the Contender Series, giving him a third fight. ‘The Punisher’ was matched up with Spanish fighter, Abdellah Er-Ramy, and in impressive fashion, Finney showed a different side to his game this time round, finishing Er-Ramy in the first round. “My boy, Torrez.

Now, listen to me, kid, you, Uncle Snoop, Aunt Didi, Coach Larry, Mom, and Dad, none of you can disagree with me, you brought a different energy tonight than you did the last two fights, that’s how you do it, get over here, welcome to the UFC,” White told Finney following the show. The 25-year-old will be the latest undefeated fighter to come through the Contender Series .
