LAS VEGAS – Danylo Voievodkin entered Dana White’s Contender Series 73 with heavy hands and a heavy heart.
It took Voievodkin (7-0) a total of 73 seconds to finish opponent Bailey Schoenfelder (5-1), prove the oddsmakers wrong as a +526 underdog, and earn his UFC contract.
“To be honest with you, I still do not believe it,” Voievodkin told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference Tuesday. “It’s the greatest day of my life.”
