Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series Debut Event to Feature Trio of UFC Vets

The lineup is official for the first iteration of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, and there are some familiar faces on the card.

Former Octagon talents Joby Sanchez, Justin Jones and Kurt Holobaugh will all compete at the event, which takes place on July 11 in Las Vegas and airs on UFC Fight Pass.

Sanchez, who went 1-2 during a brief UFC stint from August 2014 to Dec. 2015, will face Manny Vazquez in a flyweight contest. The 25-year-old Sanchez has earned back-to-back triumphs on the regional circuit since exiting the UFC after a second-round TKO loss to Geane Herrera at “The Ultimate Fighter 22” finale.
