The second event of the latest season of Dana White’s Contender Series took place Tuesday night at the UFC Apex, with ten fighters competing for a chance to earn a UFC contract under the watchful eye of UFC President Dana White.
The card featured three stoppages, including two in the opening round. Ramiro Jimenez dispatched Tommy Cuozzi in under three minutes in the night’s opening bout, while Josh Hokit needed just over a minute in round two to put away Guilherme Uriel.
UK standout Louis Lee Scott — who missed weight on Monday — redeemed himself in White’s eyes with a third-round stoppage of Kaushik Saikumar. Cam Rowston kept the streak going in the fourth fight, finishing Brandon Holmes in under three minutes, while in the evening’s final matchup, Jose Delano outpointed Manuel Exposito across three rounds.
