After a short stint on Wednesday last week, Dana White’s “Contestant Series” is back to its usual time this evening (Tuesday, November 10, 2020) with five more matches in mixed martial arts (MMA).
The previous show lost somewhat when Gloria de Paula withdrew in short order, but she compensated for it with high quality, awarding contracts to all four winning fighters. Jared Vandera opened the show by finishing Harry Hanseker, Luis Saldana, and Ignacio Bahamonds with ground and pound, and sent Vince Murdock and Edson Gomez in front kicks, and Carlos Olberg blew Bruno Oliveira with bad counters.
Canada-based Paul Marius Ksiazkewitz (8-0) faces Brazilian Mario Sosa (11-1) in the main middleweight attraction tonight. While the common feature sees late substitute Natan Levy (5-0) trying to become the second Israeli fighter in the UFC in a Catchweight match against Shaheen Santana (6-0). Elsewhere, second season opponent Joseph Lowry (9-1) returns to the opponents series against TUF: Brazilian veteran and CFFC champion Nicolas Motta (11-3), brave star Luana Pinheiro meets veteran Stephanie Frausto for 10 years (8-6) Titan FC Champion Danny Sabatillo (8-1) opens the show against Taylor Moore (10-4).
