After an uncharacteristic drought in Week 1, the Dana White's Contender Series floodgates have opened back up, and this week’s participants will do their best to make sure the Ultimate Fighting Championship contracts keep flowing.
The 2022 season debut of the Contender Series ended with a clearly frustrated White excoriating the night’s fighters and walking off camera, leaving only one fighter, Joseph Pyfer, with a contract. In the three weeks since, however, White has bestowed offers on 13 of 15 winners and one loser, Shannon Ross, while another winner, Bo Nickal, received a return invite to the Contender Series.
