UFC President Dana White recently added two new combatants to the UFC catalog. The American businessman was expecting some good talent from Denver, where the Fury FC 53 event took place. Without a doubt, he got more than he expected from the event that took place at the Western National Complex on Sunday.

Along with filming for his show “Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight”, he signed two new faces; Joseph Holmes and Trey Ogden. Subsequently, Iridium Sports Agency Founder Jason House shared on Instagram that Joseph and Trey had been signed to the UFC.

Joseph Holmes’s performance in front of Dana White

After winning on Dana White’s Contender Series in October, Holmes, 26, was granted another shot to fight in front of the UFC head honcho. He fought against middleweight DWCS participant Jhonoven Pati (6-6).

The fight ended in a stunning fashion, with Holmes winning through TKO. Following this encounter, the Dallas-area middleweight is on a six-fight win streak after his debut loss.
