The Big Winners From DWCS 82

At the end of the event, four fighters received UFC contracts from Dana White. Cody Chovanek’s third-round stoppage win over the highly rated Raphael Uchegbu was enough to earn him a deal, while Tommy Gantt’s first-round submission win over adam Livingston also saw him punch his ticket to the big leagues.

Iwo Baraniewski’s 20-second knockout finish in the co-main event saw him land a UFC contract, while Hecher Sosa – who outpointed Mackson Lee in the evening’s feature bout – was the only not to get a finish who managed to convince Dana White to offer him a deal.
