Dana White’s Contender Series 2019 - Week 2 live results and discussion

Tonight (June 25th) is Week 2 of season three of Dana White’s Contender Series, which highlights up-and-coming talent as well as some former UFC fighters looking for a second crack at the big time. Winners aren’t guaranteed a UFC contract, but it certainly helps to both win and impress at the same time. Really also helps to not shoot for a double leg in the final seconds, evidently.

Bloody Elbow is your place for live discussion of this five-fight event at the brand spanking new UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is a light heavyweight bout between Alton Cunningham and Tony Johnson. Miguel Baeza and Victor Reyna were supposed to headline, but Reyna missed the welterweight limit by 7 lbs.
