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

Ten more fresh faces enter UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada, tonight (Tues., Aug. 18, 2020) for the latest installment of Dana White’s “Tuesday Night Contender Series,” which kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

Despite a main event marred by a horrific injury, all five of last week’s victors earned themselves a spot in the Octagon. One of them, Impa Kasanganay, will make less than a three-week turnaround for his Aug. 29, 2020, Octagon debut opposite Maki Pitolo.

In this week’s main event, series veteran Victor Reyna (11-4) will attempt to redeem himself after missing weight and losing to Miguel Baeza last time out, taking on undefeated Louis Cosce (6-0). The card will also see Cheyanne Buys (4-1) fight fellow Strawweight Hilarie Rose (4-1) Cosce’s brother Orion (6-0) face Xtreme Fight League Champion Matt Dixon (6-0), TUF 28 veteran Josh Parisian (12-3) duke it out with knockout artist Chad Johnson (6-1), and Kevin Syler (10-0) return to the Contender Series opposite Ken Cross (10-3)
