Contender Series Weigh-in Results: All Fighters Cleared for Week 8

All 10 fighters scheduled to compete on Week 8 of Dana White’s Contender Series hit their contracted marks at weigh-ins on Monday.

The Contender Series takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Tuesday night and airs on ESPN+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The evening’s featured bout is a bantamweight tilt pitting Allan Begosso (135.5) against Farid Basharat (135.5).

A native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, who trains at Team Alpha Male, Begosso is 7-1-1 thus far in his professional career. That stint includes a 3-1 mark in Legacy Fighting Alliance, where he suffered his lone career defeat in a 135-pound title bout against Richard Palencia this past December.
