What is Dana White’s Contender Series?
DWCS features a number of fight cards during the year where fighters compete to impress UFC president Dana White and matchmakers Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard.
The fighters chosen for the DWCS have never held a UFC contract before and fight in order to earn one.
At the end of each fight card, White and his matchmakers award UFC contracts to the fighters that performed the best on the night.
On Tuesday, all five fight winners earned contracts.
