Setting The Table For Tuesday’s Action At The UFC APEX
Last week, four more fighters were called to the UFC roster following strong efforts inside the cage at the UFC APEX, as Elijah Smith, Talisson Teixeira, Ateba Gautier, and Ahmad Hassanzada all earned wins and contracts.
That brought the total number of contracts handed out this season up to 24 through six weeks, which is still slightly off the pace of the last two seasons, but good for an average of four athletes graduating to the next level per week. There has only been one week this season where all five victorious fighters have been called over to speak with Laura Sanko for a second time on Tuesday night, but this week’s collection of hopefuls wants nothing more than to become the second week to send five fighters through to the UFC roster.
