All 10 athletes slated to compete on Week 6 of Dana White’s
Contender Series made weight without issue on Monday.
The Contender Series takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on
Tuesday night and airs on ESPN+ at 8 p.m. The evening’s featured
bout is a welterweight clash pitting Yusaku
Kinoshita (171) against Jose
Henrique Souza (171).
A native of Osaka, Japan, Kinoshita has been victorious in five of
his first six professional outings — with his lone defeat coming as
a result of disqualification due to fence grabbing. He has finished
all of his opposition inside of a round while competing in the Deep
and Pancrase promotions.
Brazil’s Souza is 5-0 thus far in his burgeoning MMA career. The
Nova Uniao MPBJJ product last competed at LFA 132, where he
defeated Pedro
Oliveira via split decision on May 13. His other four triumphs
have come via knockout or technical knockout.
