It’s all systems go for Week 6 of Dana White’s Contender Series, as all 10 athletes hit their contracted marks at Monday’s weigh-ins.
Llontop takes an 11-fight winning streak into his matchup with Lewis. He is the reigning welterweight champion in the Peru-based Fusion Fighting Championship, where he has earned 10 of his last 11 victories.
Lewis, meanwhile, will be making his second appearance on the Contender Series after suffering a second-round TKO loss to Trevor Peek in September 2022. He returned to the win column with a third-round stoppage of Paulo Silva at Peak Fighting 26 this past February.
