Dana White’s words of “Be Joe Pyfer” were played on loop before the Dana White’s Contender Series alum made his UFC debut on Saturday, and he delivered in the octagon.
Pyfer (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was the first contract winner to be booked off Season 6 of the UFC president’s series. He got an advantageous matchup against a struggling Alen Amedovski (8-4 MMA, 0-4 UFC), and made the most of it by dropping his opponent with a big punch for the TKO at the 3:55 mark of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night 210.

Following he fight, an ecstatic Pyfer spilled out his positive emotions after his road to get to the UFC. He also revealed White took care of him in a big way outside the cage after DWCS.
“I’m in love with the game, baby. Let’s go,” Pyfer said in his post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier. “We got the job done in one round. … Thank you to Dana White. That man gave me cash on the side and gave me a place to live for the next year.”
