Dana White's ***** istant could earn a UFC contract in a few weeks.
Sal Everett, an undefeated fighter and UFC employee who, in recent years, has served as a runner for White, will compete on Dana White's Contender Series. The show, which has been labeled a "UFC job interview" for fighters, brings in competitors with all sorts of interesting stories. However, a UFC employee fighting for a UFC contract is something completely unprecedented – and White can't wait to see what happens.
"Yeah, I'm excited," White told MMA Junkie and other reporters during a media scrum at the Meta APEX. "He is a great kid, and everybody in this company loves him. I feel bad for whoever he's fighting. He's gonna feel like he's coming into enemy territory, when that is not the case.
"These are some of those – you know, it's like Callum Walsh. I was working with Callum early on in his career, and I feel like anybody that comes into Zuffa Boxing feels like they're the odd man out, which is not the case. You come in here and, if Sal's good enough, then he's gonna make it, and he's gonna get a contract. If he's not, then he's gotta figure out what he's gonna do next."
Everett (4-0) will face Ozzy Martin on Oct. 6, which will be the penultimate week of the upcoming season of DWCS. White often speaks about how he enters each week of the show without knowing anything about the fighters he's about to watch compete for a UFC contract, but that will be far from the norm when Everett steps into the cage against another undefeated fighter in Martin (4-0).
