Dana White’s Contender Series: Season 6, Week 7
When: September 5
Time: 9:00 PM
Place: UFC APEX, Las Vegas, NV
An American mixed martial arts promotion called Dana White’s Contender Series was formerly known as Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. The UFC announced in May 2017 that White would host the competition once a week on UFC Fight Pass (now switched to ESPN+). The series aims for White to scout potential for the UFC, just like in the former web series Looking for a Fight.
Like The Ultimate Fighter, none of the fighters will already be under contract with the UFC. Before the license was obtained, it was said that “this is not the UFC, this is not the UFC brand, but rather a promotion that will offer up and coming fighters the chance to display their talents in hopes that one day they may compete in the UFC.” Dana White had applied for a promoter’s license. The first occasion happened on July 11, 2017. The UFC’s headquarters in Las Vegas has hosted every upcoming event and is looking forward to hosting another championship fight with Kamaru Usman headline the upcoming event.
UFC 279: Chimaev vs. Diaz
When: September 10
Time: 7:15 PM
Place: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, NV
The announcement of the fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz, one fighter to look out for is Islam Makhachev. Curtis Blaydes and Islam Makhachev, fighters to reach the top – who will lead the UFC 279 card, on September 10, in Las Vegas (USA) – generated a flurry of criticism against the organization, mainly due to the physical and technical disparity between the two fighters currently. While the Russian naturalized Swedish is rising in Ultimate, the American is no longer at the height of his career and is already showing an evident decline.
Winner of the fifth edition of the reality show The Ultimate Fighter, Nate Diaz has built much of his career in the UFC. Many of his fights took place at Madison Square Garden. The ‘bad boy’ quickly became one of the company’s most popular fighters for his talent inside the Octagon and his peculiar personality outside the cage. For years, the American was one of the main assets in the commercial aspect of Ultimate. However, the veteran has recently shown signs that he is no longer satisfied with the organization.
