By Tim Finnegan • Sep. 30, 2024

Season 8 of Dana White’s Contender Series continued last week at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, and five fighters earned a UFC contract: Alexia Thainara, Kevin Vallejos, Kevin Christian, Daniel Frunza, and Danylo Voievodkin. Voievodkin cashed as a big underdog, dropping Bailey Schoenfelder with a left hook and then choking Schoenfelder out directly on top of the DraftKings Sportsbook logo.

A DraftKings Sportsbook bettor cashed in big during last week's episode, turning $100 into over $19,000 with a five-leg Dana White’s Contender Series Parlay Bet featuring the following picks:

  • Alexia Thainara Moneyline
  • Kevin Vallejos To Win By KO/TKO/DQ or Submission
  • Kevin Christian To Win By Submission
  • Daniel Frunza Moneyline
  • Danylo Voievodkin Moneyline

As a result of all of these outcomes hitting in the Parlay Bet, the DWCS bettor took home $19,248.
