The Dana White Contender Series is like a high-stakes game show where fighters compete for their shot at fame, a massive money bag, and a chance to face off against the world’s best. In this arena of dreams, only the most skilled snag that golden ticket to the UFC, and fighters like Sean O’Malley and Bo Nickal are prime examples of the stars who’ve emerged from this proving ground. Once again, after last week’s brutality, the DWCS is back with a bang, where all 5 fighters earned their UFC contracts.
Jacobe Smith lit up DWCS with a jaw-dropping second-round KO of Christien Savoie! From the get-go, he dominated, leaving Savoie reeling. With an undefeated record of 9-0, this Oklahoma State wrestling star seems ready to take the UFC by storm.
Subsequently, after failing in the 2nd episode, Torrez Finney delivered a stunning performance earning a first-round TKO against Abdellah Er-Ramy. Finney quickly put Er-Ramy on the canvas and immediately attempted an arm-triangle choke that had his opponent struggling for breath.
After a brief escape, Finney flattened Er-Ramy again, with relentless strikes that prompted the referee to stop the fight. UFC’s CEO couldn’t resist giving him the nod after that dominant performance.
