The newly installed Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series (DWTNCS) is going swimmingly and up-and-coming fighters are already starting to rise to the top. In the latest edition of DWTNCS, which aired earlier this week in Las Vegas, bantamweight prospect Sean O’Malley became the newest name to score a UFC contract.
O’Malley, 22, went toe-to-toe with heady-handed striker Alfred Khashakyan before scoring a wicked one-punch knockout (shown below) late into the first. It was O’Malley’s sixth career knockout finish and a memorable performance that extended his undefeated professional record to 8-0.
Wanna hear @SnoopDogg call one of the best KO's you have ever seen?

Following his pleasing stoppage during the second episode of DWTNCS, ‘Sugar’ wasted no time celebrating. In fact, the Montana native partnered up with DWTNCS’s new color commentator and legendary rapper Snoop Dogg to enjoy some of the finest sticky icky post-fight.

While this might not be the best way to showcase professionalism after scoring a huge knockout victory in front of UFC president Dana White, marijuana is now legal in the state of Nevada and O’Malley is free to enjoy it. However, United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) will soon be hot on his tall, so the young bantamweight may want to tone back his recreational usage.
