This week, Dana White's Contender Series will test the structural integrity of the UFC Apex’s Octagon with one of the better heavyweight matchups in the show’s history.
The 10 prospects scheduled to appear before the UFC president this week are a solid bunch overall, with five undefeated fighters and several champions from top feeder leagues, such as Jungle Fight lightweight titleholder Kaynan Kruschewsky. However, the spotlight falls on the main event, which features a pair of undefeated big men who—at least by the eyeball test and the dictates of MMA math—could already beat quite a few UFC heavyweights.
