Current LFA featherweight champion Kevin Aguilar will move to lightweight to face Joey Gomez in the next edition of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. Aguilar stepped in as a short notice replacement for Rafael Fiziev.
In the recently concluded DWTNCS 11 Valentina Shevchenko’s sister Antonina Shevchenko defeated Jaimee Nievera by TKO and was awarded a UFC contract. In the men’s lightweight bout Te Edwards knocked out Austin Tweedy in the first round to earn himself a ticket to the UFC. In the heavyweight division Josh Parisian defeated Greg Rebello by KO in the opening round, but failed to get a contract. Dana White later said that he’ll be brought in to “The Ultimate Fighter.”
