Dana White’s Contender Series gives up-and-coming MMA fighters a chance to wow the UFC boss and earn a fight contract that could change their lives.

The best way to accomplish that is to win in stunning/violent fashion, which is exactly what Aalon Cruz did Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

And Dana White, who was sitting cageside, absolutely loved it.

With just under 30 seconds in his fight with Steven Nguyen, Cruz fired off a beautiful flying knee that immediately knocked Nguyen out and gave Cruz an impressive win and likely a contract with the UFC.

Check out how sneaky and powerful this knee was:

WOW.

Then in the next fight there was another flying-knee KO, this time by Aleksa Camur:

White, 51, admitted Tafon Nchukwi “scared the s***” out of him following his brutal knockout win over Al Matavao.

The 25-year-old heavyweight was one of 10 fighters competing on White’s Contender Series, a show designed to funnel talent into the UFC.

Nchukwi fought in the main event against the more experienced Matavao. Yet the Cameroonian, who has only been fighting professionally for a year, scored the biggest win of his young career with a savage second-round head kick knockout.

“This guy reminds me of a Tyson-type figure,” he said. “Physically, visually, and obviously with his fighting style.

“He’s 4-0 and with four knockouts. I didn’t see the first three, but the last one was one of the most vicious knockouts I have ever seen.”

His live reaction told the story.

To ESPN, White added: “I don’t know what more you could look for in a guy who is going to be a professional fighter.

“This guy is mean, aggressive, (has) unbelievable power, and cardio to back it up. The thing that scares me is he’s 4-0 — he doesn’t have a lot of experience.

“He fought a guy tonight who has 10 fights. Normally, I would take a guy like this and put him in a developmental program, but he scared the s*** out of me tonight, and I’m going to bring him into the UFC.”
