The main event this week are middleweights Charles Byrd and Randall Wallace. If Byrd sounds familiar to you, that’s because he fought in the first Contender Series card, winning by arm-triangle choke. Dana White didn’t sign him to a UFC contract, but did opt to bring him back to Contender Series to prove himself once more.

In the featured bout, former Ultimate Fighter season 19 competitor Anton Berzin returns to his old stomping grounds in the TUF gym as he takes on undefeated prospect Kennedy Nzechukwu. Joby Sanchez will also make his return after picking up a win in the opening week of the Contender Series as he takes on fellow flyweight JP Buys.
