Last week in the return episode of the Contender series we saw another big week and a perfect 4 for 4 on contracts. Which brings the total this season to 33 out of the 37 total fight winners. The question is with only a few more episodes left this season, how many more contracts will be awarded?
After a Wednesday opening episode last week, we see a return to Tuesday for this coming episode of the Contender Series. We also see a return to a full 5 fight main card. The full five-fight main card is as listed below
