Another undefeated roster addition
Steele defeated Chasen Blair via TKO (punches) at 4:07 of Round 2 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of four fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Neither man connected on a successful takedown here, and the striking numbers were nearly identical, but it was Steele who found the finish first as the betting favorite. He did a good job attacking from distance in Round 1, and while he wasn't as accurate as his opponent, the higher volume resulted in more strikes landed and likely won him the frame. Steele started to really commit to working the body in Round 2, and it paid off with a big left hand that put down Blair after a slightly-delayed reaction. Steele pounced, and it was all over. The 29-year-old will enter a deep lightweight division with an undefeated record.
