Michael Bisping debuts as color commentator at Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 9

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping will debut as a color commentator at tomorrow’s Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 9 event.

UFC officials today told MMAjunkie that Bisping will join play-by-play man Brendan Fitzgerald at The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas for the UFC Fight Pass-streamed event, which features 10 athletes hoping to impress UFC President Dana White and earn a UFC deal.

Bisping, who has served for some time now as a FOX analyst, is currently expected to commentate at the first four events of the new season of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, while UFC lightweight Paul Felder returns for the final four cards – all of which take place after he faces James Vick on July 14 at UFC Fight Night 133 in Boise, Idaho.

Meanwhile, Fitzgerald rotates play-by-play duties throughout the season with Dan Hellie. Lauro Sanko reports on all eight events from backstage.

UFC officials also confirmed the SnoopCast, which saw rapper Snoop Dogg and UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber offer up an alternate audio feed on the original season of Dana White’s Contender Series Events, will not return for the sophomore run.

Weigh-ins for Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 9 took place earlier today. Full results include:

  • Alonzo Menifield (206) vs. Dashawn Boatwright (204)
  • Chris Curtis (170) vs. Sean Lally (170.5)
  • Greg Hardy (264) vs. Austen Lane (240)
  • Rico DiSciullo (135.5) vs. Montel Jackson (136)
  • Kevin Holland (185.5) vs. Will Santiago (185)
