Dana White Signs Two New Fighters to the UFC from Fury FC 53

UFC President Dana White recently added two new combatants to the UFC catalog. The American businessman was expecting some good talent from Denver, where the Fury FC 53 event took place. Without a doubt, he got more than he expected from the event that took place at the Western National Complex on Sunday.

Along with filming for his show “Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight”, he signed two new faces; Joseph Holmes and Trey Ogden. Subsequently, Iridium Sports Agency Founder Jason House shared on Instagram that Joseph and Trey had been signed to the UFC.

He wrote, ” Another two clients signed to the UFC tonight! So proud of @UglyManJoe and @Marathon_MMA. They’ve been through so much adversity and always stayed the course. Love you boys!” 

Joseph Holmes’s performance in front of Dana White

After winning on Dana White’s Contender Series in October, Holmes, 26, was granted another shot to fight in front of the UFC head honcho. He fought against middleweight DWCS participant Jhonoven Pati (6-6).

The fight ended in a stunning fashion, with Holmes winning through TKO. Following this encounter, the Dallas-area middleweight is on a six-fight win streak after his debut loss.

Trey Ogden’s stats till now

Trey Ogden has been on a rampage recently, winning back-to-back fights. The 32-year-old fought JJ Okanovich for the Fury FC lightweight title in the main event. The Glory MMA member won by technically submitting the American Kickboxing Academy prospect in the second round.

Ogden has spent the previous few years honing his skills on the regional level, but he can now call himself a UFC fighter. The 5’11” American now boasts a Pro MMA Record: 15-4-0 (Win-Loss-Draw).

Altogether, both the new UFC fighters have proved that they are forces to be reckoned with in the MMA world. Do you think that Dana White was right to sign them? Let us know your opinions in the comment section down below.
