Watch The First VICIOUS Knockout Of The Year On Dana White's Contender Series

Dana White's Contender Series is officially back on Tuesday nights, and we just saw the first devastating knockout of the season, courtesy of Tom Nolan!

After three straight decisions to kick off Week 1 (strangely echoing last season), Tom Nolan went in there, got into a firefight almost immediately, and landed a HUGE left hand through the chaos to sit Bogdan Grad down. He then followed that up with the most vicious Nolan bomb I've seen since Oppenheimer; a shot so ruthless and powerful I was practically afraid it could've lodged Grad's nose into his brain, or worse - sent his skull through the crust of the earth, Mortal Kombat style. 

I thought, "That seemed a little personal!" and it was!

Apparently Grad was sending Nolan some weird DMs in the lead up to the fight, talking shit with no shirt on (this is what commentary actually said), and Nolan didn't take too kindly to that....so he landed his own version of Dan Henderson's H-bomb in retaliation.

As of this writing, contracts haven't been given out yet, but I can guarantee that Tom Nolan will be receiving one as the only guy to secure a finish tonight. Congrats to him on a huge victory.
