The Dana White´s Contender Series had a new episode this Wednesday, where Ignacio Bahamondes he showed off and is all the rage.

This being the case, the South American came out with his arms raised, after connecting a lethal front kick, which ended the fight instantly. His kickboxing was demonstrated in a very good way in the cage, so Dana White did not hesitate and gave him a contract with the UFC. Now, Ignacio Bahamondes will represent your country in the leading MMA company.

After taking the image of the night, the Chilean mentioned: «I feel very good, amazing. I want to thank God, without him, nothing would have been possible. I am blessed. I have a very hard head and nothing can make me go back. I had very good precision. I’ve been ready for this forever. Five years ago I was waiting for this opportunity, I was ready for all this and now for much more.

“Before I compared the fight to Anderson Silva’s a long time ago and now I have to say the same thing. The knockout was for him and I hope he liked it. I would be very happy to represent my country. Not only to my country, but to all those who support me. I would be very happy to fulfill that. I know they will see me again in this cage. I hope I get my contract with the UFC, that’s what I’m looking for, “he closed Ignacio Bahamondes.
