There Were Some Cool Moments on Dana White’s Contender Series

As peripheral content goes, Dana White’s Contender Series ranks up there just higher than seasons of TUF you’ll never watch but right below reading the box of a Devour Pizza shaped like an Octagon. But!

But last night’s installment had a couple noteworthy moments! The first of which was a dude named Aolon Cruz scoring a flying knee KO in the third round that had White telling him from cageside that he’d just earned a UFC contract.

It was a pretty damn cool knockout.

Then came yet another flying knee, although this one didn’t kill a dude like Cruz’s did.

NO. WAY. Another flying knee?! #DWCS@Aleksa_Camur follows up with a highlight of his own pic.twitter.com/ynKq1dRNUr

Aleksa Camur got landed that second flying knee (I think he’s Stipe Miocic’s valet or something), and he too got a UFC contract.

Good times. Good times.
