LAS VEGAS – Brunno Ferreira spoke to the media after inking a UFC deal at Dana White’s Contender Series 55.

The Brazilian is ready for a quick turnaround and likes the idea of debuting at home on the UFC 283 card in Rio. But if an opportunity comes earlier, the unbeaten middleweight will take it. “I don’t do camps,” Ferreira told reporters through an interpreter at the DWCS 55 post-fight press conference.

LAS VEGAS – Austen Lane never gave up on his UFC dream.

Lane won seven of his next eight fights, including five straight to earn another crack at a UFC contract at DWCS 55. And this time, he fully capitalized when he scored a first-round TKO of Richard Jacobi on Tuesday.
