A pair of featherweight prospects will battle it out for their opportunity to earn a UFC contract next month.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Kyle Driscoll and Dinis Paiva will meet on Dana White’s Contender Series on Sept. 15. The event will take place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas and will stream on ESPN+.
Driscoll enters the contest on an impressive six-fight winning streak, which includes victories in LFA and Combate Americas. In his most recent appearance, the American Kickboxing Academy standout picked up a unanimous decision win over 50-fight veteran Rey Trujillo at Combate 48: Garland.
