By MMAReign News Desk·Oct 6, 2026 • 5:10 PM

Former UFC security guard Sal Everett is focusing on his upcoming Dana White’s Contender Series bout against Ozzy Martin, downplaying any narrative surrounding his past employment with the promotion.

Sal Everett is set to make his appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series this Tuesday at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, where he will face Ozzy Martin. The matchup has drawn attention due to Everett’s unique professional history, having previously served as a security guard for the UFC. Despite the narrative surrounding his past role with the promotion and commentary regarding potential bias from UFC CEO Dana White, Everett insists he is treating this opportunity like any other professional fight. Everett stated that he is maintaining focus on his performance against Martin, noting that any external narratives regarding his history with the organization are being completely blocked out as he prepares for his bout. The Contender Series serves as a critical stage for up-and-coming talent, and Everett aims to validate his spot on the roster through his skill inside the cage rather than his prior association with the company's security staff.
