Dana White Confirms No Expansion for Contender Series Schedule

Following the conclusion of Season 10, which finished its final episode this past Tuesday, White addressed questions regarding a possible expansion of the weekly event. Despite the show's success and high ratings, White stated the organization is at its limit regarding the 10-week production cycle.

White noted that the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to influence the depth of the talent pool. While he did not entirely rule out potential changes for future seasons years down the road, he confirmed that the show will return next year with the same 10-week format.
