It’s that time of year again!
Contender Series is back with 10 straight weeks of mixed martial arts (MMA) action. This week’s show starts at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+ for the first two weeks (because of The Ultimate Fighter 32 final episodes), and then things switch back to the usual 8 p.m. ET time slot moving forward.
In the main event, undefeated powerhouse Mansur Abdul Malik (5-0) takes on fellow finisher Wes Schultz (6-1) in a Middleweight matchup. The rest of the card is filled with fun fights as Rami Hamed (12-3) steps up on short notice to fight knockout artist Meng Ding (34-8) in the co-main event. Light Heavyweight sluggers Bruno Lopes (12-1) and Mikheil Sazhiniani (13-2) collide in the featured bout. Jose Delgado (7-1) takes on Ernie Juarez (8-0) in a Featherweight bout. And finally, two of the best Flyweight prospects in the world kick off season eight as An Ho (6-0) takes on England’s Lone’er Kavanagh (6-0).
