Ex-UFC Employee Everett Earns Contract After Contender Series KO, Eyes Dual Role

Sal Everett, who previously worked for the UFC in various capacities including security guard and runner, has officially secured a UFC fighter contract following a decisive first-round knockout of Ozzy Martin on Dana White's Contender Series. His impressive performance on Week 9 of the series earned him one of the coveted contracts awarded by UFC President Dana White.

Everett's journey from an employee behind the scenes to a competitor on the roster represents a remarkable career shift. Notably, Everett has expressed his desire to continue his employment with the UFC even as he embarks on his fighting career, aiming to balance both roles within the organization.
