LAS VEGAS – There’s typically plenty to roll eyes at or be critical of in the MMA space, but sometimes a feel-good moment can make even the most jaded of fans crack a smile.
That may happen in the case of Cortavious Romious, who Tuesday won a UFC contract after a hard-fought win on Dana White’s Contender Series. Romious (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) outworked Michael Imperato with a trio of 30-27 scores in their bantamweight fight on the show, and now his next fight will be for the world’s biggest MMA promotion.
