Another group of fighters will look to earn a UFC contract tonight from the brand new Apex Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dana White’s Contender Series 22 will host five fights on ESPN+ beginning at 8 pm ET.
Look at this flying knee knockout by Aalon Cruz in the third and final round of his fight against Steven Nguyen. UFC President Dana White was so impressed that he signaled that he was signing Cruz immediately after the fight ended.
