Taking the action back to the UFC Apex, the Contender Series prepares to deliver another action-packed night of mixed martial arts in DWCS 82, with bantamweight standouts Hecher Sosa and Mackson Lee taking the top spot on the card. In the DWCS 82 co-main event, undefeated light heavyweight prospects Iwo Baraniewski and Mahamed Aly engage in a spectacular bout between talented up-and-comers.  


DWCS 82 Main Event

Unbeaten since 2022, Sosa boasts a very active schedule as a competitor, fighting ten times over the past three years alone. He also has put together quite the finish streak, stopping his last five opponents, with four of those wins coming by way of knockout ahead of DWCS 82.   

Standing at a perfect 9-0 record as a mixed martial artist, Lee has established himself as a promising young name on the stacked Brazilian regional scene. Looking to prove his skillset can transition to the highest level of the sport, the 26-year old is taking aim at a sensational performance to catapult himself into the UFC.

DWCS 82 Co-Main Event

Following a near 20-bout run as an amateur, Baraniewski made the transition to the professional leagues in 2023. Since then, the Pole has succeeded in waves, racking up an unblemished resume of five straight victories in a row, competing mostly in the Polish fight company Babilon MMA.  

While having only fought in just four contests, Aly has already racked up a sizable amount of combat sports experience as an accomplished Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappler, even holding a tremendous win over UFC BJJ star Mikey Musumeci. A true threat to anyone who goes to the ground with him, the Brazilian athlete can prove to make life hell for his adversary should he manage to take them down.
