Dana White awarded four UFC contracts following the conclusion of week five of the Contender Series on Tuesday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Quentin Pasley highlighted the event by knocking out Arlind Berisha with elbows 4:41 into the first round of their light heavyweight bout. Middleweight Martin Kozak and flyweight Christian Natividad also earned contracts following their respective TKO victories against Christian Echols and Colton Loud. Welterweight Isaac Moreno secured a contract after winning a unanimous decision against Reginaldo Junior, with all three judges scoring the bout 29-28. Apollo Gomes also earned a unanimous decision victory over Kwon Won, though he was the only victor on the night not to receive a contract offer from Dana White.
