Salhahuddin Everett Earns UFC Contract After Knockout Victory

Salhahuddin Everett, a former security staffer for the UFC, earned a contract with the organization after a knockout victory over Ozzy Martin in the first round during Week 9 of Dana White's Contender Series at Meta APEX.

Everett's performance stood out as he knocked out Martin, showcasing his skills and determination to transition from staff to fighter. Dana White expressed his excitement about Everett's achievement, noting that he had to leave his seat during the fight to avoid overly celebrating.

Despite concerns about potential bias due to their relationship, White emphasized that both fighters were given equal opportunities in the matchup. Everett, who previously held the Tuff-N-Uff amateur welterweight title, is now considering whether to focus solely on his fighting career or continue his role at UFC headquarters.
