Dana White started a new MMA organization completely separate from the UFC that will be airing 5 fights every Tuesday on Fight Pass called Dana White's Tuesday Contender Series. Apparently it's for regional fighters and old vets to showcase their skills to maybe one day get called up to the UFC. Dana said winning doesn't guarantee a UFC spot though. Payouts for all fighters will be 5k show 5k win.

Lee cut 17 lbs from just yesterday, holy fucc that's a lot.
side note: anybody with direct tv having issues with FS1 AND FS2? Its saying that I'm not subscribed to those channels but I know I have em. And its only those 2 channels that are off.
I was live in the crowd when he fought Yair a few months ago and all I could think about was "fuck I don't want to be here in person to see BJ get butchered" then sure enough he got butchered lol
Hopefully he don't look as shitty against someone like Siver.
