Tonight (August 20th) is Week 9 of season three of Dana White’s Contender Series, which highlights up-and-coming talent as well as some former UFC fighters looking for a second crack at the big time. Winners aren’t guaranteed a UFC contract, but it certainly helps to both win and impress at the same time.
Bloody Elbow is your place for live discussion of this five-fight event at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is a welterweight bout between Leon Shahbazyan (brother of current UFC middleweight Edmen Shahbazyan) and Phil Rowe.
As is the case throughout the summer, Dana White’s Contender Series streams live on ESPN+.
