LAS VEGAS – Cheyanne Buys had been blowing up Dana White’s phone for a while, and Tuesday he finally got to see what she’s about. Buys (5-1) earned a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series 29 with a unanimous decision over Hilarie Rose. Buys earned high praise from White for her performance and she made sure to let the UFC president know how long she’s been trying to get his attention. Buys, along with her husband JP, moved from South Africa to Dallas to train with coach Sayif Saud at Fortis MMA, which has produced the likes of Geoff Neal, Alonzo Menifield and Ryan Spann – all of who earned UFC contracts through DWCS. So Buys made the move to Fortis MMA, knowing that it’s a proven launch pad for fighters who want to make it to the UFC. “For the past two years, I’ve been writing Dana, and I just kept telling him, ‘Dana, I’m going to be a star for you.
