Dana White’s Contender Series Week seven is off to a great start, with women’s MMA prospects Jeisla Chaves and Sofia Montenegro putting on one of the bloodiest wars in the show’s history.<\/p>\n
Brazil’s Chaves, a relative unknown, overcame heavy adversity in the opening frame. Montenegro came guns blazing, bloodying Chaves immediately. The two bantamweights slugged it out in round two, before ending the third frame drenched in blood.<\/p>\n
Their fight impressed UFC Boss Dana White enough to hand out a rare double-contract…<\/p>\n

Both Chaves and Montenegro earned their place in the UFC, which isn’t common on DWCS. However, it sparks a trend with 2025’s season, where both women’s fights this year have earned contracts.<\/p>\n Shanelle Dyer and Carol Foro earned contracts<\/a> for their three round war on Week 5 earlier this month.<\/p>\n “We’ve had two women’s fights this season and they were both unbelievable…” White admitted. “This fight had me on the edge of my seat the entire team. . . I didn’t have Chaves winning the fight, i had Sofia winning the fight, but I’m not a judge…<\/p>\n “But what I can do is sign both of you…. Congratulations to both of them. Absolute war.”<\/p>\n Felicidades Sof\u00eda Montenegro \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf7 Bienvenida a UFC \ud83d\udd25 #DWCS<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/3OGQDGMJwu<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 UFC Espa\u00f1ol (@UFCEspanol) September 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n A total of six fighters earned contracts on Week 7 of DWCS.<\/p>\n Rafael Tobias<\/p>\n 14-1 Rafael Tobias submitted Jair de Oliveira in the first round to secure a spot in the UFC’s light heavyweight division.<\/p>\n Dominant from the start \ud83d\udc4a <\/p>\n Rafael Tobias gets the submission victory in round one! #DWCS<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/kW9V25Q17S<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 UFC (@ufc) September 24, 2025<\/a>Javier Reyes<\/p>\n 22-5 Javier Reyes joins the featherweight division with a first-round knockout over Justice Torres.<\/p>\n Lo terminaaaaa \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf4 Javier Reyes \ud83d\udca5\ud83e\udd2f #DWCS<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/4pWQrL3rQt<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 UFC Espa\u00f1ol (@UFCEspanol) September 24, 2025<\/a>Jeisla Chaves and Sofia MontenegroMurtazali Magomedov<\/p>\n Murtazali Magomedov scored his tenth straight finish against Islam Makhachev training partner Brahyan Zurcher to secure his UFC featherweight spot.<\/p>\n The power in his hands \ud83d\udc4a<\/p>\n Murtazali Magomedov gets the finish early in this one! #DWCS<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/QgBRcnO6XP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 UFC (@ufc) September 24, 2025<\/a>Mantas Kondratavicius<\/p>\n Finally, Lithuania’s Mantas Kondratavicius knocked out Dani Barbir in the first round to secure his UFC contract in the middleweight division.<\/p>\n THAT RIGHT HAND \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8<\/p>\n Mantas Kondratavicius wasted no time getting the job done tonight! #DWCS<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/u0GZQHGUU6<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 UFC (@ufc) September 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Stick with\u00a0MMAKnockout<\/a>\u00a0for more\u00a0FREE coverage\u00a0of the UFC, MMA, Boxing.
