Four Contender Series graduates have become UFC champions: Sean O'Malley , Jamahal Hill , Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Ulberg . Many more are on the rise, such as welterweight contender Carlos Prates and lightweight contender Mauricio Ruffy , the latter of whom is slated for the co-main event of UFC 331 on Sept. 19. Now, the next crop of potential major players make their case for the big show.
Tuesday's edition features a welterweight bout between Namo Fazil and Kaik Brito in the main event slot. Fazil lost his fourth professional bout and has since rattled off eight consecutive victories, six by form of stoppage. Fazil's most recent fight was a second-round submission of Jake Babian on the undercard of the MVP MMA event headlined by Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano. Brito is 19-6 as a professional and enters Tuesday on a two-fight winning streak. He appeared on Contender Series just shy of three years ago, losing a majority decision to Oban Elliott .
