Second of five contracts awarded
Laramie defeated Daniel Swain via TKO (doctor's stoppage) at 5:00 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. He was one of five fighters awarded an official UFC contract after the show.
ANALYSIS
Laramie looked good both on the feet and on the mat in his shot in the spotlight, as he did a tremendous amount of damaging ground-and-pound, particularly to the body. It's unclear exactly if the apparent ribs injury suffered by Swain was a direct result of Laramie's work or a preexisting injury, but in the end, it didn't matter. While it will go down as a "doctor's stoppage" in the official results, Swain had made it explicitly clear he had no interest in going out for Round 2, claiming he was unable to move and had difficulty breathing. It's tough to get a great read on Laramie based on these five minutes alone, but his winning streak is now at four, and with a full calendar of events ahead, it likely won't be long before he makes his first official walk to the Octagon.
