We’re getting down to the business end of the eighth season of Dana White’s Contender Series. After this Tuesday’s show, only three more cards from the weeknight MMA offering will be held this season. All throughout this season, as well as all throughout the life of Contender Series, the mission statement has been clearly defined:
Put on a show, get a UFC contract from Dana White at the close of an episode. Through six episodes this year, 24 MMA prospects have earned a contract in the sport’s top promotion as a direct result of appearing on Contender Series, including four deals awarded a week ago.
