Malcolm Wellmaker ready for ‘scary and exciting’ UFC bantamweight division after DWCS contract win

BAD MMA News — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 21:51:12 +0000

Malcolm Wellmaker has been relishing the aftermath of his UFC contract win at Dana White’s Contender Series 69 , because the road to get there wasn’t easy. Wellmaker (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is not the product of a major gym or a lineage of prominent MMA fighters. He comes from a small team at Faglier’s MMA out of Augusta, Ga., and is the first athlete from his squad to make it big on the UFC stage. He announced his arrival in emphatic fashion, too. Wellmaker scored a devastating first-round knockout of Adam Bramhald at DWCS 69 that convinced the UFC boss to sign him to a contract, and the finish was so impressive it landed at No.

Dana White’s Contender Series 69: Grading the winners

BAD MMA News — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 15:09:47 +0000

Week 3 of Dana White’s Contender Series (2024) took place on Tuesday in Las Vegas, and we’re grading the winners from the five-fight card, which streamed on ESPN+ from the UFC Apex. With a simple but digestible format that has had the MMA fanbase responding, this series has shown to have legs in multiple ways while serving as a crockpot for contenders the UFC matchmakers can use to fill their roster for future events. With that trend in mind, I once again will be taking a look at the winning fighters, regardless of whether or not they won a UFC contract, and grading their performances in regard to their probability of returning to a UFC stage.

Malcolm Wellmaker left Adam Bramhald unconscious on the canvas and Dana White in awe with a single punch.

The event took place Tuesday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The finishing sequence was violent. As Bramhald moved forward, Wellmaker shifted backward and landed an overhand right behind the ear.
