Before the final fight even began, UFC President Dana White made a surprising announcement. He revealed that bantamweights Adrian Luna Martinetti and Mark Vologdin, who had just put on an incredible display in what many considered the greatest fight in Contender Series history, were both signing UFC contracts and receiving a $25,000 bonus. This early celebration of their success was a testament to the high caliber of talent on display this season.
As the night progressed, White continued to hand out UFC invites, awarding contracts to Luke Fernandez, Luis Felipe Dias, Imanol Rodriguez, and Magomed Zaynukov. This brought the total number of UFC invites for the season to 41, with one more week of competition remaining. The excitement was palpable at the UFC APEX, with fans eagerly anticipating the remaining fights and the potential for more upsets and surprises.
This season has been a showcase of the best up-and-coming talent in the sport, and with the final week approaching, the anticipation is building for who will emerge as the ultimate Contender.
