The third instalment of the latest season of Dana White’s Contender Series took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Tuesday evening, and much like the previous week, the fighters delivered a string of exciting finishes to impress the UFC President.
After a quiet opening week where only one fighter managed to finish his opponent, week two saw four stoppage victories and all five winning fighters earning UFC contracts. That was improved upon this week again though as all five fights were finished inside the distance.
