Austin Bashi
USA
Earns contract via sub
Bashi defeated Dorian Ramos via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:15 of Round 2 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of five fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Bashi was relentless with his wrestling here, recording five takedowns in each round and constantly forcing pressure. Ramos was able to scramble and escape throughout the first round despite likely dropping the frame, but his luck ran out in the second once Bashi found the neck. Bashi's striking wasn't really tested here so that might be a question mark heading into his official debut. He was also a (-550) betting favorite against an opponent who took the fight on five days' notice. That's not to take away from the fact he took care of business here and will enter the featherweight division with a spotless 13-0-0 record.
