SALEM, MA – Rico DiSciullo is only two victories shy of signing a contract with the UFC.
DiSciullo advanced to the semifinals finals of The Ultimate Fighter bantamweight tournament with a victory against Hunter Azure. That bout aired on this week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter, and the fight ended when DiSciullo delivered the knockout blow he has chasing for the past 13 years.
“It felt like it happened in slow motion,” says DiSciullo, 36. “It didn’t come overnight. There is nothing fast or easy about success in this sport. I’ve been working for it.”
