"I put it out there that I wanted to fight either in Doha or Abu Dhabi. I said listen, let's see what happens. The guy kind of owns the place. So let's see if he does it. He looks, and he says 'we'll make it happen,'"

Samuel Sanches (11-1) finished returning Chasen Blair with a right hook on Dana White's Contender Series, securing a UFC contract and extending his win streak to eight. Sanches described reading Blair's movement, landing a cross and hook sequence, and recognizing the stoppage. After the fight he showed UFC President Dana White his phone and requested a debut in either Doha or Abu Dhabi, with White reportedly agreeing. The UFC returns to Abu Dhabi in October and debuts in Doha in November, presenting a possible short turnaround. Sanches said he has about 12 years to climb and impact the division.
