LAS VEGAS – Stepping into the cage for his third Dana White’s Contender Series fight, Torrez Finney knew he wasn’t leaving the UFC Apex without a contract to fight in the world’s premier organization.
In fact, Finney (10-0) already felt like a UFC fighter before he picked up a first-round TKO win over Abdellah Er-Ramy. It was Finney’s third victory on DWCS, a first in the show’s history.
“I’m going to be honest with you, along with my teammate Trevor Peek, being able to go through a lot of these experiences with him – I’m going to be honest with you, I feel like I was already UFC,” Finney told reporters during a post-fight news conference. “When you fight three times on Contender Series, that’s literally, you get a four-fight deal (in the UFC). The heck, I’ve already done three of them, so I already feel like I was in the UFC.
