Dylan Budka grateful for opportunity to prove he’s ready for UFC

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.

Budka talked about that and more after his fight at Tuesday’s DWCS 61 in Las Vegas.

Check out the full interview in the video above.
