Middleweights will collide for their chance to earn a UFC contract.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between KB Bhullar and Bruno Oliveira is set for Dana White’s Contender Series on Sept. 1 following an initial report from Combate.
Bhullar is undefeated thus far in his eight-fight MMA career and is considered one of Canada’s top prospects. “The Bengal,” a middleweight champion for regional promotion Unified MMA, went 3-0 in 2019 with finishes of 25-plus fight veterans Derek Boyle and Cody Krahn.
