These Contender Series Guys Cant Win Fights in the UFC

[kingsizexx]

Seems like they should do some sort of show where they help train the fighters as they try and earn a contract.

do u know what are their contract responsibilities?

 

[Anonymous Fighter]

either UFC neeeds to do better matchmaking or better recruitin for the conteder series. or probably both.

They desperate for new fighters because no ones trying to fight or can fight during covid

I don't get the point of it, you already have feeder organizations , looking for a fight and TUF. How much talent do the think MMA has ? Just pick one and stick to it, there's no real need for it. I'd rather see a stacked TUF doing more sporadically since they won't do UFC tournaments anymore.

Lets do some stats baby (just gonna put people down from the first episode they appeared on for those who appeared more than once and all records are since DWCS for those fighters who'd fought in the UFC before that.

Season 1 ep 1

Joby Sanchez - 0-2 (Now released)
Charles Byrd - 1-3
Boston Salmon - 0-2 (Now released)
Zu Anyanwu - 0-1 (Now released)
Kurt Holobaugh - 0-3 (Now released)
Matt Bessette - 0-2 (Now released)

Not the strongest episode with guys who were on it being 1-13 in the UFC.

ep 2

Casey Kenney - 5-1
Sean O'Malley - 4-1

Better episode at 9-2 with two guys who've been ranked. Also worth noting that current Rizin champ Thahn Le was on this episode.

ep 3

Dan Ige - 6-2
Alonzo Menifield - 2-2
Geoff Neal - 5-0
Kyle Stewart - 0-2 (Now released)
Karl Roberson - 4-3
Ryan Spann - 4-1

Another good episode with a 21-10 combined record and 2 ranked fighters in Ige and Neal

ep 4

John Castaneda - 0-1
Brandon Davis - 2-5 (Now released)
Austin Arnett - 1-3 (Now released)
Kyler Phillips - 2-0
Julian Marquez - 1-1

Not such a good week with a 7-10 record.

ep 5

Ricky Simon - 4-2
Alex Perez - 6-1
Julio Arce - 3-2
Mike Rodriguez - 2-4

Decent week with a 15-9 record, with a guy who's about to challenge for a title in Perez and a guy who cracked the rankings in Simon.

ep 6

Martin Day - 0-2
Grant Dawson - 4-0

Dawson saves the week to give it a 4-2 record

ep 7

Jordan Espinosa - 2-3
Mike Santiago - 0-3 (Now released)
Benito Lopez - 2-1
Steven Peterson - 2-3
Kennedy Nzechukwu - 1-1

Not such a great week at 7-11, Espinosa got ranked but that was more due to there hardly being any fighters at FLW than anything else.

ep 8

Allen Crowder - 1-2 (Now released)
Dontale Mayes - 0-2
Lauren Mueller - 1-3 (Now released)
Bevon Lewis - 1-3
Matt Frevola - 2-1-1

Another shit week with a record of 5-11-1.


So the combined total UFC record for season 1 is 69-68-1

I'll do the other seasons later.
