Salmon (6-1) was one of the two fighters who received a UFC contract for a winning performance on Week 1 of the new series. He earned a unanimous-decision win over Turcios (8-1) and impressed the UFC boss enough to earn a multi-fight contract. The format of the show, which streams Tuesdays on UFC Fight Pass from The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas, is based around bringing in talent capable of putting on a performance worthy of a UFC roster spot.
