By Kevin Schuster, On X: @KevinESchuster • Nov. 6, 2024
Dana White’s Contender Series has proven to be a launching pad for rising UFC stars, offering fighters the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of the UFC CEO.
With one chance to make an impression, DWCS fighters can earn a UFC contract based solely on their performance that night if White believes they have what it takes to compete with UFC talent.
Order UFC 309: Jones vs Miocic
In this series, we showcase DWCS grads who have started to rise the ranks since earning their UFC contract on the show, and who better to highlight next than the man who solidified himself as one of the welterweight division’s hottest prospects after a huge win at UFC 305: Du Plessis vs Adesanya, Carlos Prates, who returns to the Octagon for his first UFC main event this Saturday against Neil Magny.
