Related Topics: Dana White, Mansur Abdul-Malik

One of the most emphatic knockouts we've ever seen on Dana White's Contender Series kicked off a thrilling first night of fights that saw four prospects punch their ticket to the UFC roster.

During the post-fight press conference, UFC CEO Dana White first congratulated contract winner Mansur Abdul-Malik, who solidified his spot in the UFC with a second round TKO over Wes Schultz in the main event. The win extended the 26-year-old's undefeated, professional MMA record to 6-0. With good size and athleticism, the Xtreme Couture middleweight is certainly one to watch moving forward in the 185-pound division.
