The Ultimate Fighter
The following
The Ultimate Fighter seasons are scheduled for broadcast in 2017:
Dana White's Contender Series
In May 2017, the UFC announced White would hold Dana White's Contender Series weekly on
UFC Fight Pass . As with the earlier web series Looking for a Fight , the goal of the series is for White to scout talent for the UFC.
[1]
[2] Similar to
The Ultimate Fighter none of the fighters involved will have existing UFC contracts. Licensed separately from the UFC with Dana White applying for a promoter's licence, it was stated ahead of the license being approved that “this is not the UFC, this is not the UFC brand, but instead a promotion that will allow up and coming fighters the chance to showcase their talents in hopes that one day they may compete in the UFC."
[3]
The inaugural event took take place on July 11, 2017 at the UFC's home base of
Las Vegas .
