After a relaxing week off from competition, top-level mixed martial arts returns to the UFC Apex for DWCS 83, as fantastic European prospects Mantas Kondratavičius and Đani Barbir square off in the middleweight main event. In the second to last fight of the night at DWCS 83, the undefeated Murtazali Magomedov puts his zero on the line against fellow unblemished athlete Brahyan Zurcher. 
DWCS 83 Main Event
Unbeaten as an amateur and as a professional, Barbir has turned heads as of late with five consecutive finishes. Aiming to make it eight in a row, the former two-time defending FNC champion is poised to claim his spot in the big leagues in the DWCS 83 main event.
Also known for his strong ability to stop his opposition, Kondratavičius is keen on mounting a stellar display of skill to leave no doubt that he belongs in the UFC with a win in DWCS 83. With a combat sports career dating back to 2018, the Lithuanian has no shortage of experience competing in several notable promotions like Ares FC and Cage Warriors.

DWCS 83 Co-Main Event
Accumulating a perfect run in the win column over the past three years, Magomedov soared into prominence last year when he scored the Octagon League featherweight strap. Making a single defense of his throne ahead of DWCS 83, “The Highlight” sets his belt aside in order to chase an even greater prize: a UFC championship.
Standing as the latest in a long line of hardened Mexican prospects, Zurcher has already cut his teeth fighting in major organizations, notably winning five bouts in the PFL. Stepping into his first scrap of the year in DWCS 83, he intends to prove he is the next big contender coming out of his country.
