LAS VEGAS – Dana White’s Contender Series 17 took place tonight at the brand new UFC Apex, and the debut edition of the third season saw a pair of fighters secure UFC deals. In the night’s featured contest, middleweight Punahele Soriano (6-0) stayed undefeated in his professional run but went to the judges’ cards for the first time, settling for a decision win over a speedy Jamie Pickett (9-4). Soriano came out looking to fire kicks, though Pickett’s movement proved problematic early on. While Soriano was moving forward, Pickett was evading well and looking to return fire. Soriano was unquestionably firing the harder blows, but he was looking for the killshot, and Pickett was able to evade any big shots
