LAS VEGAS – Dylan Budka had to grind one out, but it likely was worth the effort.
Budka (7-2) earned a shot at the UFC after his unanimous decision win over Chad Hanekom (9-3) at Dana White’s Contender Series 61 in Las Vegas on Tuesday. The middleweight didn’t get a finish, but impressed White enough that he got a deal. Now he’ll go to work focusing on how to let them down.
