Contender Series has a few pleasant surprises this week, but viewers would be forgiven for not knowing too many of the competitors on the card. This week’s fighters have mostly been under the radar, however many have made major progress on the regional scene in hopes of making the big show.
As usual, nothing is guaranteed. Some records may be impressive on paper, but require a closer look. That’s not indicative of overall fighter development, just worth keeping in mind when a lot of fanfare is made about a prospect’s impressive win/loss numbers.
