Luis Saldana got a win and a highlight-reel finish on the Contender Series – normally a pretty good recipe to earn a UFC contract.
Saldana, who competed in his 20th professional fight, took on Team Alpha Male’s Vince Murdock on the second bout of DWCS Season 4: Week 8 Wednesday night in Las Vegas. After an impressive first two rounds on the feet, Saldana came out even more aggressive to kick off the third and final round.
Just days after Anderson Silva made what looks to be his final walk to the octagon, Saldana landed a pair of front kicks to the face to drop Murdock and jumped on top with ground and pound until the referee waved it off.
