Week 4 Preview | Dana White's Contender Series Season 9

There were only three instances last season where all five victorious fighters were awarded contracts on Tuesday night at the UFC APEX, and while it did happen consecutively at one point — Weeks 7 & 8 — you have to go back to the closing three-week stretch of Season 7 to find the last time five or more contracts were awarded in three consecutive weeks.

That stretch produced currently ascending talents like Vinicius Oliveira, Carli Judice, and Mauricio Ruffy, who competes in the co-main event this weekend in Paris against Benoit Saint Denis, and more than 20 victories inside the Octagon.
