LAS VEGAS – Dana White contemplated giving Jonas Bilharinho a UFC contract after his spinning wheel kick finish on Tuesda but ultimately decided against it. The decision wasn’t an easy one for the UFC president, who loves nothing more than a highlight-reel knockout. But leading up to Bilharinho’s third-round TKO of Canaan Kawaihae at Dana White’s Contender Series 46, the fight didn’t gauge White’s interest a whole lot. However, Bilharinho, who once served as Jose Aldo’s training partner for the Conor McGregor fight, is certainly on White’s radar moving forward.
