Gets contract after brutal KO
Nallo defeated Samuel Silva via KO (punch) at 3:29 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of four fighters to earn an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Nallo racked up damage right out of the gates and through the finish, peppering Silva with jabs and low kicks before eventually finding a home for his right hand when Silva entered the pocket. The 36-year-old is a bit past "prospect" status given his age, but he does have high-level experience, as the Tristar product has eight fights under the Bellator banner. Considering he only absorbed nine significant strikes in this outing, he could be ready for a debut in the near future.
