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.
