There have already been 20 UFC contracts handed out through the first five weeks of this season’s Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS), as the last two have seen all five winners awarded. Now, the attention turns to week six as we pass the halfway point on what has been a terrific season.
Let’s take a closer look at what I’m keyed in on for Tuesday night’s action.
A set of veteran fighters in Blake Bilder and Alex Morgan will get the party started on Tuesday, as both come into this bout 31+ years of age with time running out on their dream of making the UFC roster. For Bilder, who is 6-0-1 as a professional (and 7-0 as an amateur), 67% of his wins have come inside of the distance, a feat he’ll be looking to repeat once again in this one.
