A couple of times Dana just gives everyone a contract for no reason in one episode and the next episode people who had a better performance do not get one.
I would like to know what the conditions are to get signed, it seems a bit random at times even more than the ONE Baht bonus.

There is no longer any rhyme nor reason to this, which is why I've lost a bit of interest over the past couple seasons. He rewards lacklustre decision wins, then somehow rejects a guy who got a 3rd round finish.

Apparently Michal's brother, Cezary is meeting with the UFC and might be an addition to this year's Contender Series.

I like his activity so far, since recovering from injury in 2021 he's fought at a good pace. I don't love that I feel like, to some extent, he's somewhat untested. But I'm a huge fan of him and will be following.

Every regional show kinda feels like an audition for Contender Series this time of year.
Just finished watch Fury FC. Wouldn't be surprised to see Paris Moran and Yadier DelValle this season.

I was pretty shocked when they didn't sign him after he fought through adversity and finished a very dangerous opponent.
That season they were signing almost every winner, and I honestly think Dana White did that just to send a message to future contestants that he's still the boss and just winning in impressive fashion isn't enough.
He's extremely short for the division but he's an absolute tank of a man, skilled, a plus athlete, and very, very obviously UFC caliber.
