Two fighters were given UFC contracts, Alonzo Menifield and Greg Hardy. However, Hardy’s may be more developmental – he may sign a UFC contract, but fight in pro shows for a time before being dropped into the deep waters of the UFC heavyweight division.
And there was some bafflement that this didn’ get a contract.
