Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series Week 7 Results
Once again, Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series returns to the UFC Gym in Las Vegas and can be streamed live on UFC Fight .
Now in week seven of the show, the main event featured Ultimate Fighter season 19 cast member Anton Berzin taking on 25-year-old Texan Kennedy Nzechukwu. Berzin is the CFFC light heavyweight champion.
The card is stacked stop to bottom to include a fight between Pennsylvania’s top ranked lightweight Mark Cherico taking on Mike Santiago. Cherico, who hails from Pittsburgh was looking not only a win and UFC contract, but also a quick turnaround that will put him on the UFC Pittsburgh fight card next month. Unfortunately for him however things did not go his way and Santiago will get a UFC shot.
