The world’s “toughest job interview” continues this evening as 10 fighters “vie to fulfill their dreams of earning a UFC contract.”

Ten more would-be Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) contenders will attempt to join a record-breaking number of signees tonight (Tues., Sept. 1, 2020) as Dana White’s “Tuesday Night Contender Series” rolls on.

Last week’s bushel of four upped this season’s total to 16; Jamie Pickett finally achieved victory in his third attempt with a main event knockout of Jhonoven Pati, Rafael Alves choked out Alejandro Flores, Jeffrey Molina out-lasted Jacob Silva, and Collin Huckbody scored an easy win.

Tonight’s ESPN+ show, which as always kicks off at 8 p.m. ET, sees Featherweight Ray Longo protege Dennis Buzukja (4-1) take on Armenia’s Melsik Baghdasaryan (4-1). In addition, long-time Flyweight veteran Jimmy Flick (14-5) steps in on short notice to fight Elevation Fight Team product Nate Smith (6-0), Bantamweight Jose Johnson (11-5) faces Ronnie Lawrence (5-1), former developmental contract winner William Knight (7-1) looks to upgrade to the full contract against unbeaten Cody Brundage (5-0), and Shogun Fights Lightweight champ Tucker Lutz (9-1) opens the show opposite late replacement Chase Gibson (9-4)
