Degli entered
Dana White’s Contender Series with plenty to prove and left the
Meta Apex with an
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.
The Brazilian flyweight submitted Paris Moran with a standing one-arm rear-naked choke at the 4:46 mark of the second round at DWCS Season 10 Week 7, extending his winning streak to 13 straight. Degli had an emotional response to the massive achievement.
Degli has built a reputation as one of Brazil’s more dangerous flyweight prospects. Against Moran, Degli showed that his submission game is just as potent as his striking. The victory was enough to convince UFC CEO Dana White to award him a contract.
In his post-fight interview, Degli (15-3) talked about his grandmother.
“I lost my grandma at the start of the year and I wish that she was here to see where her grandson made it. We made it,” Degli said. “I am sure she would be really proud. I am gonna make her really proud.”
He also touched on the support he’s received from his wife.
“She is the most invaluable thing I have in my life,” Degli said. “She’s there for me no matter what.”
Degli went 2-3 in his pro career before racking up 13 wins on the bounce.
