George Mangos looks to have exhausted all of the opportunities available to him at the regional level.
The 21-year-old Australian prospect and reigning Hex Fight Series featherweight titleholder will try to nail down a spot on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster when he meets Radley Da Silva during Week 1 of Dana White’s Contender Series on Aug. 12 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Mangos has finished all seven of his opponents, five of them inside one round. DWCS was the logical next step.
“It seems like that’s where [UFC CEO] Dana [White] likes to put up-and-coming contenders like myself, especially young undefeated guys,” Mangos said in an interview with Submission Radio.
