Most of the time, fighters have to wait around until the end of the Dana White Contender Series event to find out if they’ve earned a UFC contract. Well, last night, Aalon Cruz didn’t have to, on account of the jaw-dropping KO he scored.

Cruz took on Steven Nguyen, and as you can see by watching the clip below, he devastated the fighter with a flying knee. Cruz turned around to see White’s reaction, and the UFC President made it clear he’s earned a UFC contract.

Aleksa Camur, Rodrigo Nascimento and Tracy Cortez also picked up UFC contracts on Tuesday night.

Here are the results from DWCS 22 (via MMA Junkie):

Aleksa Camur def. Fabio Cherant via TKO (flying knee, punches) – R2, 0:48
Aalon Cruz def. Steven Nguyen via knockout (flying knee) – R3, 4:36
