Ange Loosa
Division: Welterweight
Fighting Out Of: La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by way of Kinshasa, DR Congo
Professional Record: 8-2
The Scoop: You don’t necessarily need to win a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series to get the call to the big show, and in the case of fighters like Ange Loosa, you don’t even need to win your DWCS fight. Although he came out on the wrong side of the scorecards to Jack Della Maddalena on Week 3 of Season Five, his toughness was on full display as he became the only fighter that the Australian couldn’t finish on his current 11-fight win streak. As such, it wasn’t a total shock when his phone finally rang.

„I wasn’t surprised,” he told UFC.com about that fateful moment. “When I got the call and saw it was my manager calling, I answered and said, ‘Is it UFC?’ and he said ‘Yes, can you make weight in two weeks?’ No problem. I train at Sanford MMA, but I was in LA at the time and before I left, I packed my bag and grabbed my mouthpiece and my cup just in case. So I wasn’t surprised, because I’m ready.“
