Undefeated Knockout Machine Set to Fight for UFC Contract in Front of Dana White

Former ONE Championship star Akbar Abdullaev, an undefeated knockout artist, has been confirmed to fight on Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) Season 10, competing for a UFC contract in front of UFC CEO Dana White. DWCS, now in its tenth season, serves as the UFC's primary talent pipeline, with this year's opening card featuring five bouts and four fighters earning UFC contracts. Abdullaev was widely rumored to be involved in Season 10, with many in the MMA community suggesting he deserved a direct UFC signing rather than needing to compete on the Contender Series.
