Torrez Finney is finally set to make its entire UFC debut
Once he had picked up his sixth victory, White gave him another fight against the competition series against the teammate of Israel Adesanya, Cam Rowston.
Finney dominated the city's kickboxing product and sailed to a unanimous decision gain, but was again split off by White, who again did not give him a contract after he had declared his disappointment in Finney and only fought after his first chance.
Not only that, but White, Finney warned that he would be 'absolutely decimated' in the UFC, putting his performance on blast.
Despite his harsh criticism, the UFC boss Finney decided to give one last chance on the competition series against Abdellah Er-Ramy. The Chattanoogan scored another knockout of the first round, so that White was not a choice this time, except to sign it.
And now the 26-year-old unbeaten prospect will finally make his debut in the UFC gloves when he arrives at Robert Valentin next Saturday at UFC Vegas 105.
Torrez Finney does one of the most unique builds in the UFC
Despite the fighting on 185 pounds, Finney is only 5'8 ″ long, making it an extremely unique and tough puzzle to prepare, especially when he has a range of 75.5 ″.
Valentin will probably tower -high over 'The Punisher' towering when they get into the Octagon on Saturday evening, while the Swiss hunter is 6'2 ″ long.
Finney competed in American football when he was at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. Finney played in Rennen and was no less than 230 pounds.
