Three returning fighters and a bout that had the chance to be one of the best fights of the season arrived on Week 2 of Dana White’s Contender Series Season 8, with the latest DWCS season now in full swing.
Among those returning, Torrez Finney, who actually won his first appearance on the Contender Series but was shut out when it came time for contracts to be awarded. This time out, the middleweight has been paired up with Cam Rowston. Finney remains undefeated as a pro, in a division that could use a fresh face or two.
Bantamweights Billy Brand and Cody Haddon are an early pick for Fight of the Season on paper, giving them plenty to live up to.
