UFC Dana White's Contender Series Pick (Tuesday Night)
Jason Asher (-210)
Playing straight and using to juice football parlays for weekend. Very familiar with the gym and like the fighters coming out of it. Might encounter some sportsbooks limits due to not being a massive UFC card but can get some action.
Jason Asher arrives at Contender Series this week as a perfect 5-0 with every win by knockout or TKO, including four first-round finishes, giving him the explosive finishing profile that Contender Series favors.
He trains out of Mid City MMA in New Orleans, the same strong regional gym that has produced current UFC fighter Macy Chiasson and high-level talent like former ONE Championship champion and Contender Series alum Thanh Le, showing the camp can develop fighters ready for the big stage.
With that proven finishing power, a clear size and youth edge over Greg Foster, and the backing of a gym that has already put fighters in the UFC, Asher has a strong case to be the next one from Mid City MMA to earn a contract this week.
