LAS VEGAS – Whether he’s speaking about trying to finish a fight, or his career progression as a whole, Austin Bashi explains he isn’t in a rush. At 22, Bashi (13-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) earned his UFC deal Tuesday at Dana White’s Contender Series 70 after he submitted opponent Dorian Ramos (8-3) in Round 2. The appearance came after multiple declinations of UFC inquiries, all part of a larger-picture career plan laid out by his coaches at Warrior Way Martial Arts. “I don’t regret that one bit,” Bashi told MMA Junkie and other reporters during a post-fight news conference
