All 10 athletes slated to compete on Week 6 of Dana White’s Contender Series made weight without issue on Monday.
The Contender Series takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Tuesday night and airs on ESPN+ at 8 p.m. The evening’s featured bout is a welterweight clash pitting Yusaku Kinoshita (171) against Jose Henrique Souza (171).
A native of Osaka, Japan, Kinoshita has been victorious in five of his first six professional outings — with his lone defeat coming as a result of disqualification due to fence grabbing. He has finished all of his opposition inside of a round while competing in the Deep and Pancrase promotions.
