It used to be that Dana White’s Contender Series would only award a contract if someone put on a star-making performance. Now, with more shows than ever and a roster that continues to expand, standards have dipped significantly.

On tonight’s episode Adama Diop competed in a heavyweight clash with undefeated favorite Zaurbek Sabanov. UFC boss White described it as ‘one of the worst fights’ he has ever seen, even though he ultimately gave him a deal for scoring a second round knockout.
