In May 2017, the UFC announced White would hold Dana White's Tuesday Night 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 .[ 4] [ 5]
Season one
The inaugural 2017 season included a total of 8 weekly shows. Viewers had a choice of a traditional commentary team, or alternate commentary provided by rapper Snoop Dogg and UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber .[ 6] Commentators included active fighter Paul Felder who would go on to commentate on UFC events.
