LAS VEGAS – Although there are no givens with Dana White’s Contender Series, a first-round TKO win to close out the evening is the type of result that would usually give a fighter at least some measure of ease when it comes to getting a UFC contract. On Tuesday at Dana White’s Contender Series 10, though, the event offered a bit of a problem. By the time Matt Sayles (7-1) and his right hand had dispatched previously unbeaten Hazan Hajeh (6-1) in a welterweight headliner, four other fighters had already scored big finishes of their own. That made for a great night for the fans but, the fact that contracts had typically been given to no more than two fighters a night could have been cause for concern for any of the night’s contestants. Not for Sayles, apparently.
