Week 4 of Dana White\u2019s Contender Series takes place tonight (September 1) as 10 fighters meet at the UFC Apex to try and secure UFC contracts. <\/p>\n

With three weeks of DWCS already in the books, fans have been treated to eleven finishes <\/a>and Dana White has already handed out a total of 15 UFC contracts.<\/p>\n

Bilal Hasan became the second contract winner from this year\u2019s DWCS slate to win his UFC debut when he stopped Nilson Rojas at UFC Shanghai last weekend<\/a>, and last week DWCS also closed out with massive upset when Alex Apodaca defeated Bella Mir <\/a>via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Week 4 opens in the lightweight division with a matchup between DWCS returnee Adam Livingston and AKA Lightweight Champion Hunter Smith.<\/p>\n

Livingston was submitted by Tommy Gantt just under three minutes into his DWCS fight last year but rebounded with a spinning elbow knockout at LFA 232 in May, while Smith is currently riding the momentum of four-straight wins and won the AKA lightweight title via first-round knockout his last time out.<\/p>\n

Loren\u00e7o in a matchup where the judges almost certainly won\u2019t be needed. <\/p>\n

McCracken came up short in a one-off Bellator appearance in 2023 but has stopped five-straight opponents since then, and Sanchez also comes into their matchup on a five-fight finishing streak that saw him knock his most recent opponent out in just 18 seconds.<\/p>\n

The penultimate fight on the card sees Brandon Holmes make his return to DWCS to take on Modestino Rodrigues, who has won yet to go the distance in his eight-fight professional MMA career.<\/p>\n
