Tonight (November 4th) is Week 8 of season four of Dana White’s Contender Series, which highlights up-and-coming talent as well as some former UFC fighters looking for a second crack at the big time. Winners aren’t guaranteed a UFC contract, but it certainly helps to both win and impress at the same time. Today’s show is on a Wednesday because of the US Election on Tuesday, but that’s the only change in the format. A fight also did get scrapped due to COVID-19, so there are only four fights instead of the standard five.
As is the case throughout the summer, Dana White’s Contender Series streams live on ESPN+. For those outside of the USA, you can still watch it on UFC Fight Pass, starting at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. The full fight card is as follows:
