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 $2.99 here, it gives you ~2 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.

Awesome, thanks.

Just a heads up - Juan Adams first pro fight at LFA 14 is missing from fight finder. He should be 3 - 0.

He won the fight by stoppage in the first round on June 23rd, 2017. The event is there, just not that fight.

Also, Justin Sumter, is actually 6 - 1, not 5 - 1. His third pro fight with Ralph Johnson is missing.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Cheers.

Weird main event but the Mayes/Sipe, Heinisch/Sumter and Adams/Teed fights are awesome.

I got Roberts and Adams taking the contracts.
 
They need to make the last few weeks dedicated to only LHW talent....The UFC really needs some right now.

Anyone big to pay attention to tonight? I usually recognize some names from LFA and CES but im not seeing anyone this week.

I am loving all the mma cards though, with PFL and LFA on thursdays and fridays I dont even have to talk to my girlfriend anymore! Sunday football coming up will fill out my whole week with sports!

Heinisch was/is Lfa interim middleweight champ, and is the guy I would probably keep my eyes on the most. Roberts appears to have been given a really winnable fight (possible short notice replacement). Then, Mayes fought on DWTNCS last season, but he got steamrolled. He, Sipe, and Adam's are all solid HW prospects though.

Thanks for that, looking forward to the fights soon.

The ufc must really love that PI, it seems to be working out for them in many ways. Great place to cut easy promos for these cards.
 
Roosevelt with that presidential name and hobbo hairstyle

Facing a 11-7 fighter? Yeah. He's there to get an easy contract.
 
Did Felder just refeer to Stipe as one of the baddest boxers in the world?
 
2 HW fights, nice. They need to get some new blood in that division. Hopefully we get some Kos, and not guys being tired after 17 seconds.
 
"I didn't have any trauma or anything like that."

Good to hear:)
 
So we have a Heavyweight whose trademark move is a Keylock?
 
Nfl tryouts, I smell an a level athlete fellas
