MMA Junkie was on scene reporting live from Tuesday’s Dana White’s Contender Series 52 event.
Dana White’s Contender Series cards see prospects fighting for the opportunity to sign a UFC deal, with UFC president Dana White on hand to make the decisions.
The sixth week of the sixth season saw 10 fighters compete for their shot at a UFC contract. Welterweights took center stage in the feature bout as Japan’s Yusaku Kinoshita (6-1) took on Brazil’s Jose Henrique (5-1).
At the conclusion of the show, White extended contracts to all five winners, marking the third week in a row in which all winners on the show were granted entrance into the UFC.
This week, four of the five bouts were finished early, including three submission finishes and a TKO in the feature bout. Sedriques Dumas, Mateusz Rebecki, and Blake Bilder ended their fights with chokes. Kinoshita rocked Henrique with a beautiful counter which led to a TKO finish.
In the lone bout that reached the judges’ scorecards, Viktorya Dudakova’s performance impressed White enough to issue a contract as she pressed through an injury.
