Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Contenders Sequence was very totally different animal again in 2017.
Six years in the past, it wasn’t the only real supply of most new UFC expertise. Consequently, a win alone was nowhere close to sufficient to ensure a UFC contract. In truth, an thrilling win wasn’t even a assure, nor was a end. One thing spectacular was wanted, as normally solely a pair contracts the place handed out every week versus 5.
One other huge distinction was that UFC didn’t know what it needed the present to be but. Whereas these days there’s little or no distinction in manufacturing between a UFC “Battle Evening” card on the Apex and common ol’ Contenders Sequence Tuesday, the promotion was nonetheless experimenting. A kind of experiments was the Snoopcast, another commentary choice offered by UFC Corridor of Famer Urijah Faber and west coast rap legend Snoop D.O. Double G.
Sadly, there was some controversy concerning the SnoopCast. Snoop Dogg could also be a battle fan, however his enthusiasm didn’t make up for ignorance of the principles, and he may get a bit disrespectful to a few of the debuting athletes. Consequently, the Snoopcast didn’t survive to season two.
Nevertheless, we nonetheless have to offer Snoop Dogg credit score as the primary man aboard the Sean O’Malley hype prepare. He went wild for O’Malley’s first-round knockout win over Alfred Khashakyan, the victory that earned him a UFC contract, and deemed him a future champion.
Snoop was proper!

Within the video above, O’Malley shared a congratulatory message from the hip-hop star, who exclaimed, “Nice f—king win champ! The ‘Suga’ present begins now. You made me some cash final night time nephew, good s—t.”
