Discuss the third episode of season three of Dana White’s Contender Series, which features Alton Cunningham and Tony Johnson.
Tonight (July 9th) is Week 3 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. The show took last week off because if was International Fight Week, but we’re back in the swing of things. 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 UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is a lightweight bout between James Wallace and Joseph Solecki.
