Contender’s Series results: All five winners earn UFC contracts

For the first time in the history of the Dana White Contender Series, all five winning athletes earned UFC contracts.

It would have been an impossibly tough choice otherwise considering the kinds of performances on display on Tuesday night from inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. From the first fight of the night until the featured bout to close the show, the athletes competing this week all showed urgency to finish with four of the five fights ending by knockout or submission.

Joe Solecki, Antonio Trocoli, Hunter Azure, Maki Pitolo and Jonathan Pearce will now all join the UFC roster following the latest edition of the Contender Series.
