With the fifth season of the Dana White’s Contender Series winding down to the last couple of episodes, we saw another nice week again last week, more contracts were given out as three of the five winners punched their tickets to the big show. That now brings the total to 33 out of 42 winners receiving contracts this season, as well as one loser. We have a stacked six-bout event going down this Tuesday and with only two episodes remaining will see how much everyone pushes for these last handful of contracts.
The full Dana White’s Contender Series event preview is below:
