Over those last seven weeks, there have been 33 contracts awarded, with defeated competitors Shanelle Dyer and Sofia Montenegro getting the call to the Octagon despite landing on the wrong side of the results. Last week, the final four victorious fighters were all added to the UFC roster, as Kurtis Campbell, Christopher Alvidres, Louis Jourdain and Damian Pinas all punched their tickets to the biggest stage in the sport.
As great as this season had been, Week 9 somehow upped the ante, as before the final fight even hit the cage, UFC President Dana White announced that bantamweights Adrian Luna Martinetti and Mark Vologdin, who combined for arguably the greatest fight in Contender Series history and were set to be transported to the hospital, were both getting contracts and a $25,000 bonus for their efforts as well.
Once the night did wrap up, White returned to hand out more UFC invites, awarding contracts to Luke Fernandez, Luis Felipe Dias, Imanol Rodriguez, and Magomed Zaynukov, bringing the total for the night to six and the total for the season up to 41 with one more week to go.
Just an incredible night of action at the UFC APEX, and we have all the detailed collected for your review below.
