Last week we had the second straight perfect week for contracts as all five winners from week 2 punched their tickets. This brought the total to eleven on the season, ten winners and one loser. Showing no signs of slowing down the new talent entering the UFC, we have a six-bout event Tuesday night at the UFC APEX. The full event preview and breakdown for Dana White’s Contender Series are below.
That's right, 𝑭𝑰𝑽𝑬 contracts locked in tonight! 🔏
