Dana White's Contender Series continues its thrilling 10th season on Tuesday, August 25, showcasing fighters eager to impress UFC CEO Dana White for a coveted contract with the UFC.

Each week features five fights where top regional fighters audition, with the decision to sign resting solely with White. A highlight-reel finish can boost chances, but making a lasting impression is crucial.

Notable graduates include Sean O'Malley, Jamahal Hill, Jack Della Maddalena, and Carlos Ulberg, while rising contenders like Carlos Prates and Mauricio Ruffy are making their mark, with Ruffy set for the co-main event at UFC 331 on September 19.

In the previous week, Bella Mir, daughter of former champion Frank Mir, faced a shocking defeat against Alex Apodaca, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the series.

This week features a welterweight main event between experienced fighters Adam Darby (7-1) from Ireland and Patrick Rivera (13-4) from Baltimore. Rivera enters with six consecutive wins, primarily by stoppage, while Darby has been a force in the Cage Warriors Fighting Championship, bouncing back from an early loss to secure six victories, with only one fight reaching the scorecards.

The event takes place at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, starting at 7 p.m. ET. Fans can watch live on Paramount+, which now hosts all UFC events, including Dana White's Contender Series, providing an extensive library of UFC content for subscribers. This monumental shift enhances accessibility to UFC events through 2023 and beyond.
