Dana White’s Contender Series 59 results: Three winners receive UFC deals; one does not
LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was at Tuesday’s Dana White’s Contender Series 59 event.
Dana White’s Contender Series cards see prospects fighting at the UFC Apex for the opportunity to sign a UFC deal, with promotion president Dana White on hand to make the decisions.
The third episode of Season 7 will see eight fighters compete for their shot at a UFC contract. A middleweight contest between Eli Aronov (6-1) and Zach Reese (5-1) served as the featured bout of the four-bout lineup. Fury FC’s Reese quickly submitted Unified MMA’s Aronov with an armbar.
In the co-featured bout, Cage Warriors’ Obain Elliott and Okatgon’s Kaik Brito went blow-for-blow in a thrilling three-round battle.
