The end of the road is almost here.
Contender Series reaches its penultimate week, and we get six fights on this card that could end things with a bang. There’s a few of the usual problems with it, but we’ve come to expect these things at this point.
Main event honors go to Gadzi Omargadzhiev (12-0), a Russian up-and-comer that has fought a mixed bag of opposition but has a Sambo background that gives him strong baseline for a middleweight to succeed on a higher level. He’s got a nice spinning back kick to the midsection and some snappy takedowns and relentless top pressure strikes.
