Summer Tapasa-Sataraka took UFC President Dana White’s job offer and went from Hawaii to “The Ninth Island.”
The former Best Buy employee made headlines in January when she stopped a thief from stealing a television at her store in Aiea, Hawaii. Footage of Tapasa-Sataraka’s actions went viral and caught the eye of White, who took to social media to offer her tickets to UFC 246 and a possible job opportunity after learning that Best Buy might let her go as a result of the incident.
On Thursday, White tweeted out an update on Tapasa-Sataraka’s story, saying that she is now officially part of the UFC security team in Las Vegas.
