Dana White handed out a UFC contract to a fighter after hearing what he said in the Octagon following his victory on the Contender Series.

In the main-event of Dana White's Contender Series, Nick Klein put on a show-stopping performance, submitting Heraldo Souza in just 37 seconds.

Klein continued to impress moments after his stunning victory as he issued a message to White, who was sitting cage-side.

From inside the Octagon, he said: "Jon Jones is the greatest fighter f**king fighter to ever walk this earth," to which the UFC CEO replied: "I agree with you."

Then, after the fights, White gave Klein a UFC contract, calling it a "no-brainer", with fans haling the middleweight fighter for 'cracking the code'.

One X joked: "Dana privilege on the way. Betting the house on his next fight. Save this post."

Speaking after his big win, an emotional Klein told Laura Sanko: "This is all larger than life, it’s so surreal for me right now.

"Man, I love them more than anything, this is just too much," he added, as images of his family celebrating his UFC contract were shown on screen.

"I’m just so happy that all of the work I’ve put into this is finally coming to fruition and being a middleweight in the UFC, it really merits all the work I’ve put in.

"But now the real work starts, the skill levels are tripled and the work’s going to have to as well, but I’d like to fight as soon as possible man."
