UFC president Dana White will launch his new contender series on Tuesday night, July 11 and now he’s received a promoter’s license for the events in Nevada.
Now that might sound strange considering the UFC already has a promoter’s license in the state, but it was made clear during a Nevada State Athletic Commission meeting on Wednesday that the new series is being kept completely separate from the UFC.
DWTNCS (Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series) was approved for a promoter’s license but the show will not coincide with the UFC outside of the fights airing live on UFC Fight Pass, the promotion’s digital streaming service.
