Luke Fernandez
USA
Earns contract in seconds
Fernandez defeated Rafael Pergentino via TKO (punches) at 0:15 of Round 1 at Dana White's Contender Series on Tuesday. After the show, he was one of six fighters to be officially awarded a UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Fernandez is an athletic light heavyweight with fast hands, but it's tough to glean much from a performance this short. It looks for all the world like the 30-year-old got a showcase opportunity here, as two of Pergentino's six wins came against a fighter whose only two MMA bouts were against him. Fernandez improved to 6-0-0 in professional MMA as a result of the victory
