There was only room for one.
Phil Rowe stood out on Season 3, Episode 9 of Dana White’s Contender Series, as he was the only competitor awarded an Ultimate Fighting Championship contract on Tuesday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. UFC President Dana White commended the efforts of the other four winners -- Jamal Pogues, , Mallory Martin and Ricky Steele -- but elected to pass on bringing them into the fold.
A Fusion X-Cel standout, Rowe overcame a difficult start to stop Leon Shahbazyan with punches in the third round of their welterweight clash.
