The inaugural 2017 season of Dana White's Contender Series included a total of 8 weekly shows. Viewers had a choice of a traditional commentary team, or alternate commentary provided by rapper Snoop Dogg and UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber.[1] Commentators included active fighter Paul Felder who would go on to commentate on UFC events.
Mike Santiago was not awarded a contract on the show but one week later was signed to the UFC as a short notice replacement for Nick Hein at UFC Fight Night 115[21]
Bevon Lewis was signed to a development league contract[24]
