Sean O'Malley and Jamahal Hill stand as proof that Dana White's Contender Series is far more than a UFC reality show gimmick. And now, its back for an eighth season.

Each week, fighters compete against one another, and if they impress, White will offer them a UFC contract. The first episode of the eighth season is on August 13 with the last episode scheduled to air on October 15.

Dana White's Contender Series format, rules

Each week will include five fights of ten prospects or veterans looking to earn a UFC roster spot. White and matchmakers Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby are part of the panel that observes the fights.

Unlike The Ultimate Fighter or other programs, DWCS is not a knockout-like tournament. At the end of each week, White gives out contracts to the most deserving fighters, or who impressed the most. Securing a win does not guarantee a contract. Bo Nickal fought multiple times during one DWCS season before finally securing a contract.

On rare occasions, the loser of a fight could be awarded a contract.
