The Contender Series is back on Aug. 4 and the season premiere’s five-fight lineup is official.
It was announced on Saturday’s UFC Fight Island 2 broadcast that the premiere will be headlined by a lightweight bout between unbeaten prospect Cameron Church (4-0) and Contender Series returnee Jose Flores (9-1).
Church has finished all of his opponents so far, while Flores is a standout from the Combate Americas promotion. Flores rebounded from a loss to Matt Frevola in season one of the Contender Series with back-to-back first-round finishes of Clarence Brown and Eduardo Bustillos.
