Douglas Lapa, 27, earns UFC contract with third-round TKO of
\nDavi Cabral at DWCS Season 10 finale<\/h2>\n

Lapa entered as the betting favorite, but Cabral tested him early
\nwith powerful strikes and a guillotine attempt before Lapa worked
\nhis way back into the fight.<\/p>\n

Lapa increased the pressure in the second round, landing
\ncombinations and thwarting Cabral\u2019s takedown attempts. He carried
\nthat momentum into the final frame, dropping Cabral with a
\ntwo-punch combination before follow-up ground strikes forced the
\nstoppage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat man is a great jiu-jitsu guy,\u201d Lapa said at the DWCS Season
\n10
\nWeek 10<\/a> postfight news conference. \u201cHe is well-decorated and he
\nwas tough. But I was able to keep myself together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lapa said he could have secured the finish in the second round with
\na few more seconds on the clock.<\/p>\n

UFC CEO Dana
\nWhite<\/a> also praised Cabral\u2019s durability while awarding Lapa his
\ncontract. During the announcement, White mistakenly identified the
\n27-year-old as 34, correcting himself at the subsequent news
\nconference.<\/p>\n

\u201cCabral is a tank,\u201d White said. \u201cI didn\u2019t even think that guy was
\nhuman until he dropped him in the third round. I always say this:
\nit takes two to make a great fight. He was definitely a great
\npartner for you this evening. I guess the only way I can explain
\nthis is: the second 34-year-old I\u2019m excited to see in the UFC.
\nCongratulations; welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
