After earning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series, bantamweight Miles Johns won't feel like a true UFC fighter until he gets his hand raised.
Before he even stepped into the Octagon at the new UFC APEX facility in Las Vegas for a June 25 bout with Richie Santiago, Miles Johns was expected to do big things. Those big things included beating Santiago and earning a UFC contract.
He did both, and it was no surprise that one of the newest members of the UFC’s bantamweight roster lived up to expectations. See, the 25-year-old is a card carrying member of Sayif Saud’s Fortis MMA squad, home to a host of Dana White’s Contender Series graduates.
