Chases down finish to earn contract
Alvidrez defeated Eliezer Kubanza via TKO (punches, elbows, and knee) at 4:44 of Round 1 at Dana White's Contender Series on Tuesday. After the show, he was one of four fighters to be officially awarded a UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Alvidirez bided his time to begin this one, content to counterpunch before backing his opponent against the fence. A sharp right hand took away Kubanza's equilibrium shortly thereafter, and while he did his best to survive, Alvidirez did well to keep his composure and find finishing shots in the chaos. "The Newborn" seems calm in the cage for someone so young in their career, and notched a win over UFC veteran Takashi Sato in April, which may indicate a readiness for the highest level. He improved to 7-0-1 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.
