UFC signs five new fighters following DWCS Week 4
Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) Season 10, Week 4 concluded with UFC President Dana White signing five new fighters to the promotion. Winners of the bouts including Adam Darby, Modestino Rodrigues, Silvestre Sanchez, and Gabriel Lorenco secured UFC contracts. Adam Livingston also won his match via split decision but did not receive a contract.
The event was marked by the significant upset of Bella Mir, the daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir. Entering as a massive favorite, Mir lost a unanimous decision to Alex Apodaca. Following the fight, Mir's mother, Jennifer, drew criticism for social media outbursts targeting the judges and Apodaca, which she later apologized for. Bella Mir noted that the controversy redirected negative attention away from her performance.
In a separate discussion, Bella Mir expressed her desire to achieve fast finishes in her career to avoid the long-term physical toll and numerous surgeries her father has faced due to his extensive professional fighting history.
