Austin Bashi punched his UFC ticket with a second-round submission win over Dorian Ramos on the Contender Series on Sept. 3.
Bashi, a 13-0 bantamweight turned featherweight, said it “feels real good” to have been signed to the UFC.
“I’ve been working toward this my whole entire life,” Bashi told MMASucka. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was a young kid to be a UFC champion. To now be in the UFC, it’s really amazing to see this all.”
Ramos initiated the grappling against Bashi, who then implemented his own grappling-heavy game plan.
