LAS VEGAS – Dana White saw a different Torrez Finney at Dana White’s Contender Series 74.
The third time was the charm for Finney (10-0), who finally was able to impress White and earn a UFC contract after stopping Abdellah Er-Ramy (7-2) by first-round TKO on Tuesday at the UFC Apex.
Finney’s first attempt at a UFC contract came in October 2023 when he defeated Yuri Panferov by TKO. He was told then by White that he needed more development. Finney returned to DWCS this season in August and beat Cam Rowston by unanimous decision. That still wasn’t enough to earn Finney a UFC contract as he was heavily criticized by White for his lack of activity between DWCS appearances.
