  "account": "LAS VEGAS – Sal Everett is hesitant to abandon his position at UFC, despite earning a contract from Dana White's Contender Series 95. The 29-year-old, boasting a 5-0 record, knocked out opponent Ozzy Martin in the first round during the recent event at Meta APEX. Dana White's assistant feels his UFC contract isn't enough; he wishes to remain in the facility, stating he enjoys it there. Everett emphasized his commitment to his current employer, saying \"I want to keep working here\", despite the possibility of transitioning to a UFC-based team. He is ready to resume his active fighting schedule as soon as possible. Everett aims to build a robust resume by fighting in the welterweight division and will need to balance his work and training, a strategy he employed to prepare for DWCS 95. Everett will prioritize earning a living while advancing his career in combat sports.",
