William Knight sends a message to ‘the haters’ ahead of octagon debut at UFC 253: ‘I have never used a f*ckin’ steroid’

William Knight is learning that things are a bit different at the UFC level ahead of his octagon debut this month.

“Knightmare” picked up his second finish under the Dana White’s Contender Series banner at DWCS Season 4: Week 5 to turn his developmental deal into a full-on light heavyweight UFC roster spot with a first-round TKO of Cody Brundage. The New England regional standout ended his developmental run with a 3-1 record, all finishes, with his lone loss coming in a controversial fashion to fellow contract winner Tafon Nchukwi at CFFC 80 in November.
