Dana White’s Contender Series Season 3, Week 2 results: Miles Johns, Miguel Baeza earn contracts on decision-filled night

History was made on Tuesday, though probably not the kind that Dana White was looking for.

For the first time in the three-season history of the Contender Series, all five fights went to the scorecards and while all of the fighters involved put forth a spirited effort, the results had to be considered somewhat disappointing given the program’s history of highlight-reel finishes.

Nevertheless, two fighters stood above the rest in to earn UFC contracts in week two: Bantamweight Miles Johns and welterweight Miguel Baeza.

Johns (9-0) and Richie Santiago (7-2) went a hard three rounds, with Johns showing off his well-rounded game en route to a unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26) win.
