By Tim Finnegan, DraftKings • Oct. 14, 2024
Season 8 of Dana White’s Contender Series continued last week at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, and four fighters earned a UFC contract: Islam Dulatov, Mario Pinto, Kody Steele, and Artem Vakhitov. UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira attended the event and recommended that the UFC sign Vakhitov to a contract. Pereira and Vakhitov fought twice in kickboxing, each winning once, and it's possible we will eventually see a third fight in the UFC between the two.
