This week on Dana White's Contender Series, 10 Octagon hopefuls will file into the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, knowing that their destinies are almost assuredly in their own hands.
DWCS 2022, Week 7, which takes place on Tuesday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streams live to ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, comes on the heels of a scorching three-week run in which the Contender Series has signed all 15 winning fighters. The 10 men and women hoping to keep that streak going include the expected batch of undefeated yet inexperienced prospects—of the five unbeaten fighters on the card, four have eight or fewer professional fights—but also features a lightweight bout between 20-fight veteran Ismael Bonfim and 30-fight veteran Nariman Abbasov, who will comprise one of the most experienced duos in Contender Series history.
