If you do not have Fight Pass and only want to watch the Contender Series, a summer Season Pass is currently being sold by the UFC for a discounted $8.99 here, it gives you ~6 weeks of FP.

For those of you new to the series, every Tuesday from June 12th until August 7th, with July 3rd off, top prospects and former UFC fighters will compete on a five-fight card with the opportunity to win a UFC contract. Some events, only one winner gets a contract, and others, multiple fighters are awarded that elusive contract.

Has anyone ever missed weight for a Contender Series fight?
 
Oh I forgot this happens today. Fun. <GinJuice>

They should have Brock guest-interview for an episode...

Or go the American idol route. Have 3 judges give their scores. Brock- “He’s a piece of shit”
 
That's more suspicious than it is impressive.
I dunno, the way I figure, if they miss weight for this, they're never getting signed in a million years. They're going to be as on the money as they possibly can.
 
Good fights tonight. I got a lot of respect for Aguilar. Glad he's getting his chance at joining the UFC. Sucks he couldn't just get the call instead of fighting a relatively unknown commodity. If you got bets, good luck on your plays and let's have some fun tonight with this one eh gents? Love these Tuesday cards.

It's almost better to get the shot on the Contender series imo.

Gives you exposure to the MMA fans and a chance to make a name for yourself.
 
Cool, Matt Sayles is already fighting in the UFC. He was signed on Week 10, and he'll be fighting Sheymon Moraes on the 227 FP Prelims.
 
Was watching the Sumo basho in the can and... oh thank god it hasn't started yet
 
FW: Toby Misech (10-5) vs Ricky Palacios (9-1)
FLW: Jordan Espinosa (12-5) vs Rilley Dutro (13-3)
LW: Max Mustaki (6-2) vs Jalin Turner (6-3)

Sort of feels like this batch of dudes has worse record than the previous events.

Conspiracy to get Bevon into the UFC? Get that Jon Jones friend in there?
 
Mustaki beat a guy called Socrates in his last bout. And the guy named Socrates isn't even Brazilian. :eek:

What kind of last name is Mustaki anyways?
 
Jests Christ 6’3 lightweight who doesn’t look that scrawny
