Salahdine Parnasse is pursuing a UFC contract following an impressive lightweight win over Kenneth Cross at Most Valuable Promotions’ “Rousey vs. Carano” event. Parnasse dominated the matchup and finished Cross in the first round. His team has expressed interest in joining the UFC, with his manager posting to Dana White and the UFC that their part is done. Parnasse brings strong regional experience at age 28, including being a former KSW two-division champion. He has 15 finishes in 23 pro wins and only two losses. His reported $70,000 earnings contrast sharply with disclosed main-event purses, and he responded with a joke.
