UFC Dana White's Contender Series Season 10 launches Aug. 11 in Las Vegas

The UFC announced that Season 10 of Dana White's Contender Series will begin on August 11 at the Meta Apex arena in Las Vegas. The opening two weeks will feature ten fights streamed live on Paramount+, with the main event on week 1 pitting heavyweight Anthony Wint against Matthew Adams. Other week 1 bouts include lightweight Fabrizio Escarrega, featherweight Tom Pagliarulo, and middleweight Jonathan Kunneman, among others. Week 2 will be headlined by welterweight Namo Fazil versus Kaik Brito, with additional matchups across the lightweight, middleweight and featherweight divisions.

The series, which started in 2017, has served as a pathway for unsigned prospects to earn UFC contracts and has produced several champions, notably current light‑heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg, who won the title at UFC 327. The weekly format continues to showcase emerging talent in front of UFC leadership, including CEO Dana White.
