After nine weeks of fights, finishes and UFC contract announcements, Dana White’s Contender Series reaches its Season 10 finale on Tuesday night at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
A total of 42 fighters have already secured UFC contracts this season, and the final five bouts will determine which prospects get one last chance to impress Dana White and the UFC matchmakers.
The closing card features a pair of undefeated Brazilian middleweights, a 6-foot-6 welterweight prospect and two women with accomplished striking backgrounds. Among the most recognizable names is Aline Pereira, the younger sister of UFC star Alex Pereira, who faces former ONE Championship Muay Thai titleholder Smilla Sundell.
There’s also some unfinished business in the featherweight division. Ilias Bulaid was supposed to compete in Week 8 before an illness delayed his appearance. He’ll now close out the entire season against LFA featherweight champion Erick Viscondi.
With the final five matchups set, here’s how the odds are shaping up at Hard Rock Bet and what to know about each fighter competing in the Season 10 finale.
DWCS Season 10 Finale Odds at Hard Rock Bet
Smilla Sundell carries the shortest odds of any fighter on the finale card at -600, making her the night’s largest favorite. Aline Pereira is priced at +450, while the featherweight finale between Ilias Bulaid (-150) and Erick Viscondi (+125) has the tightest line of the five fights.
Favorite | Underdog |
|---|---|
| Jason Asher (-210) | Greg Foster (+170) |
| Douglas da Lapa (-190) | Davi Cabral (+150) |
| Luis Francischinelli (-260) | Will Rentz (+210) |
| Smilla Sundell (-600) | Aline Pereira (+450) |
| Ilias Bulaid (-150) | Erick Viscondi (+125) |
Jason Asher (-210) vs. Greg Foster (+170)
The final episode of Season 10 gets underway in the lightweight division, with Jason Asher looking to turn an unbeaten start to his professional career into a UFC contract.
Asher has wasted little time building his 5-0 record. All five victories have come by stoppage, and he’s already fought three times in 2026 without allowing an opponent to reach the scorecards.
The New Orleans native trains with Shawn Gayton and brothers Thanh and Vinh Le, working alongside fighters who have already made the jump to the UFC, including Sean King III.
Standing across from him will be Greg Foster, who has put together an 8-1 record while competing out of the MMA Lab in Arizona.
The gym has helped develop several notable UFC fighters, including former DWCS graduates Sean O’Malley and Jose Miguel Delgado.
Foster has recovered from the lone defeat of his professional career with three consecutive victories. His task Tuesday is to interrupt Asher’s perfect run while adding a fourth straight win to his own résumé.
Douglas da Lapa (-190) vs. Davi Cabral (+150)
Someone’s undefeated record will come to an end when Brazilian middleweights Douglas da Lapa and Davi Cabral meet in the second fight of the evening.
Da Lapa has accumulated six victories in as many professional appearances, with five opponents falling by knockout or TKO. The 27-year-old has been especially effective recently, stopping three straight opponents.
His latest victory came in May at LFA, where he finished Emerson Richard with strikes in the second round.
Tuesday also represents a significant change of scenery for da Lapa, who has never previously competed professionally outside Brazil.
Cabral, meanwhile, has spent his entire professional career fighting in the United States and currently trains at WarRoom MMA in Dallas.
The 7-0 prospect has shown more variety in his finishing methods, collecting four knockout or TKO victories and two submissions.
Cabral’s perfect record was tested in July against Perry Stargel. After finishing each of his first six professional opponents, he needed a split decision to preserve his unbeaten streak.
Between them, da Lapa and Cabral have finished 11 of their 13 professional victories. Only one will leave Las Vegas with an unblemished record.
Luis Francischinelli (-260) vs. Will Rentz (+210)
At 6-foot-6, Luis Francischinelli is not a typical welterweight prospect.
The Brazilian’s unusual frame makes him one of the most physically distinctive fighters on the finale card, and a UFC contract would make him the tallest welterweight currently on the promotion’s roster.
Francischinelli has a 6-1 professional record, with none of his six victories requiring a judge’s decision. In fact, only one of his seven professional appearances has gone beyond the opening round.
That fight ended in defeat against former LFA champion Jonathan Piersma, the only fighter to beat Francischinelli.
Will Rentz has his own impressive finishing streak heading into Tuesday’s matchup.
The American is 8-2 overall and has stopped five consecutive opponents, including three straight first-round finishes.
Rentz trains under UFC featherweight Billy Quarantillo, another fighter who used Dana White’s Contender Series as a stepping stone toward the promotion.
His most recent loss came against Chris Alvidrez, who subsequently earned a UFC contract during Season 9.
The six-inch height gap will be difficult to overlook when these welterweights step into the cage, but both have established reputations for ending fights early.
Smilla Sundell (-600) vs. Aline Pereira (+450)
Two fighters who made their names in striking disciplines will try to take another step forward in MMA when Smilla Sundell meets Aline Pereira in the night’s women’s bantamweight matchup.
Sundell is only 21 years old, but she already has championship experience on a major combat sports stage.
The Swedish fighter previously captured a Muay Thai title with ONE Championship, establishing herself among the promotion’s top strikers before shifting her attention to MMA.
That transition has gone smoothly through her first two professional appearances. Sundell is 2-0, with both victories coming by stoppage.
She now trains at Diaz Combat Sports in Vancouver and arrives in Las Vegas as the most heavily favored fighter on the entire card.
Pereira has taken a longer route through professional MMA.
The Brazilian has five fights on her record, going 3-2 after previously competing in kickboxing and Karate Combat.
Her most recent results suggest progress in her development, with consecutive decision victories putting her on a two-fight winning streak.
Pereira is also hoping to join her older brother, Alex Pereira, in the UFC. Alex has already won titles in two weight classes, making the family connection one of the notable storylines surrounding the finale.
Sundell’s youth, championship pedigree and unbeaten MMA record have made her a substantial favorite, but Pereira brings a slight edge in professional MMA experience into the matchup.
Ilias Bulaid (-150) vs. Erick Viscondi (+125)
The last fight of Season 10 was supposed to happen two weeks earlier.
Ilias Bulaid had been scheduled to face Erick Viscondi in Week 8, only for an illness to force Bulaid off the card. Their meeting was subsequently moved to the season finale, giving both featherweights the opportunity to close out the 2026 campaign.
Bulaid enters with nine professional MMA victories, no losses and one no contest.
Long before beginning his MMA career, the Moroccan established himself as a high-level kickboxer, compiling a 25-6 professional record in the sport.
His striking credentials have carried over into MMA, but his recent performances have also highlighted his versatility.
Bulaid needed a combined three minutes and nine seconds to win his last two fights, finishing one opponent with an anaconda choke and another with a knee to the body.
The latter victory came in April and earned him the interim Levels Fight League featherweight championship.
Viscondi has already accumulated twice as many professional MMA appearances as his opponent.
The 29-year-old Brazilian holds a 17-3 record and captured the LFA featherweight championship in May with a split-decision victory over Gustavo Pintos.
That result followed another victory over Chris Mecate, extending Viscondi’s winning streak to two fights.
All three of his professional defeats occurred while competing at bantamweight, making his recent success at featherweight an important part of his career progression.
Viscondi also has experienced coaches in his corner, training under former UFC fighter Cristiano Marcello and former WEC competitor Chad George.
The season will end with a matchup between an undefeated kickboxing specialist who has developed into a dangerous MMA finisher and an experienced Brazilian champion who has found success in a new weight class.
