The fifth season of the Dana White Contender Series gave nearly forty new fighters contracts to the world leader in MMA. The latest episode brought four new fighters to the UFC roster directly. JP Buys, Gloria de Paula, Tucker Lutz, and Victoria Leonardo all put together impressive performances and will be looking to keep up that momentum in the UFC.
Another fighter, Nick Maximov, was also given an opportunity by UFC president Dana White. As The Ultimate Fighter is set to return in the first quarter of 2021, White announced that Maximov will be given a spot on the show.
