Preview - Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 2018: Week 2
Last week marked the return of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, and it’s refreshing to have the series back. Free from the week-to-week dramatic trappings and editing mishaps of The Ultimate Fighter, this just focuses briefly on the fighters and their backgrounds, and gets right to the action.
Without the constraints that require drama and the same stale formula, last week gave us a pleasant reminder of how much better this approach can be. Snag guys from regional organizations working to make it to the UFC? Just bring them in for a fight and see how they do. It’s not perfect, but fans have warmed up to it quite nicely.
