Marco Tulio didn’t get a finish his first time on Dana White’s Contender Series, and didn’t get a contract largely in part due to that. The second time was different. Tulio (12-1) returned at Dana White’s Contender Series 69 on Tuesday and he crumpled Mattheiu Dulcos (6-3) with a spinning back kick to the midsection followed by punches. The stoppage in the middleweight bout came at 2:38 of Round 2 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
