Dana White’s Contender Series Season 9 | Week 3 Preview
Two weeks into Season 9 of Dana White’s Contender Series, there have already been seven athletes added to the UFC roster, including each of last week’s five victorious fighters.
The third week of the season has produced a handful of established and ascending names over the previous eight years, including Marco Tulio and Malcolm Wellmaker last season, Oban Elliott in Season 7, and Jailton Almeida, Jasmine Jasudavicius, and current welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena in Season 5.
Will the trend continue this week? We’ll find out on Tuesday when the five pairs of fighters below make the walk inside the UFC APEX.
