Earns contract despite decision
Musasa defeated Otar Tanzilovi via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at Dana White's Contender Series 71 on Sept. 10. After the show, he was one of three fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Musasa entered this fight with a 100 percent KO/TKO rate over a spotless 7-0-0 record, and while he didn't live up to his "KO Wizard" nickname here, he managed to squeak by with a decision. It could have easily gone the other way, as Musasa was on the wrong end of a 68-to-50 significant strike count, as well as a 4-to-1 takedown tally. Musasa landed more total strikes, had more control time and threatened with a submission, which was ultimately enough to sway the judges. The 25-year-old prospect from Congo will now be the latest addition to the UFC roster.
