Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani reflects on KO win that earns UFC contract
DWCS 80 winner Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani talks to MMA Junkie and other reporters after being awarded a UFC contract from Dana White.
Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani had the UFC Apex filled to the brink with supporters Tuesday for his Dana White’s Contender Series bout – and he sent them home happy.
In the featured DWCS 80 bout, Lebosnoyani (9-2) lined Jack Congdon (7-2) with a freezing head kick and then hammered him with a fight-ending right hand. The stoppage came at 1:08 of Round 1 and earned Lebosnoyani a UFC contract.
The win was Lebosnoyani’s fourth in a row. He entered Tuesday’s bout with a 7-1 record in LFA.
Congdon suffers his first knockout loss and has a three-fight winning streak snapped.
