Round 2 KO earns contract
Delgado defeated Ernie Juarez via KO (knee and punches) at 1:25 of Round 2 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of four fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Delgado came out with a clean first round that saw him not only double the striking numbers of his opponent, but record three takedowns (although he was never able to maintain control for long). The two traded blows in Round 2 before Delgado found a home for his knee that led to the fight-ending sequence. A few hammerfists, and Juarez was out. Delgado, who most recently competed under the banner of LFA, will carry a 8-1-0 record into the UFC's featherweight division.
