For those of you new to the series, every Tuesday from July 11th until August 29th, top prospects and former UFC fighters will compete in a five-fight card with the opportunity to win a UFC contract. Some events, only one winner gets a contract, and others, two get that elusive contract.

I have high hopes for Ricky Simon or "semen" as Todd Grisham called him.
 
tuning in to actually watch on fight pass today

Been going to the stream to watch the other weeks... just for the ambience
 
Some heavyweights on this one, that's cool. We definitely need more of them in the UFC.
 
Fat athletic people. My biggest fear.
 
I know being chubby and carrying some body fat doesn't really tell much about athleticism, but I can't help but wish HW MMA fighters would take dieting more seriously
