Dana White’s Contender Series 17 results: Punahele Soriano, Yorgan De Castro score UFC deals

BAD MMA News — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 02:27:26 +0000

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

BAD MMA News — Sun, 25 Mar 2018 12:56:40 +0000

Six of nine bouts on Saturday’s Invicta FC 28 card went the distance, but Kal Schwartz (2-1) was one who bucked the decision trend. Schwartz unloaded on fellow strawweight Kay Hansen (1-1) standing up, and then she continued the beatdown with a suplex and ground and pound to set up the second-round TKO victory – a bloody one at that. Invicta FC 28 took place at Union Event Center in Salt Lake City, and the entire card streamed on UFC Fight Pass.
