Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani
Mufasa
USA
Fourth contract awarded Tuesday
Lebosnoyani defeated Jack Congdon via KO (high kick and right hand) at 1:08 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of four fighters awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Lebosnoyani entered this main-event spot as a betting favorite north of (-500) and looked exactly the part. Despite appearing to be the physically smaller fighter, the 26-year-old prospect showed efficient striking, landing a switch head kick that stunned Congdon before a follow-up right hand put him down for good. It could very well go down as the top finish of this Contender Series season and proved more than enough to be worthy of a contract. Lebosnoyani ate just six significant strikes as long as this fight lasted, so UFC fans may get to see him under the bright lights sooner rather than later.
