How Sean O'Malley deserved his series -shot

The fight ended when he landed a rotating kick on Nuzzo's jaw for only 135 seconds in the first round.
Next time O'Malley got the chance to impress Dana White on the Contender series.
Raple -legend Snoop Dogg went crazy during his bizarre commentary -performance for O'Malley's eighth professional fight, so he still scored a highlight Reel -Knock -out to earn a contract from the UFC boss.
