DWCS Season 10: All the key details

Dana White's Contender Series returns for its tenth season beginning August 11, with all episodes streaming exclusively on Paramount+. The long-running talent showcase will run for ten consecutive Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, featuring five bouts per episode. Each performance offers aspiring mixed martial artists the chance to earn a UFC contract by impressing Dana White and the promotion's matchmakers.

Since debuting in 2017, DWCS has established itself as one of the UFC's primary talent pipelines. The show and its Brazil iteration have distributed more than 300 UFC contracts across the first nine seasons. The series has also produced four UFC champions: Sean O'Malley, Jamahal Hill, Jack Della Maddalena, and current light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg.

Beyond title-holders, the show has launched the careers of numerous current contenders and prominent prospects, including Lone'er Kavanagh, Kevin Vallejos, Jacobe Smith, David Martinez, Ateba Abega Gautier, Quillan Salkilld, Payton Talbott, Jean Silva, Carlos Prates, Josh Hokit, Mauricio Ruffy, Kevin Holland, Caio Borralho, Brendan Allen, and Joe Pyfer. Season 10 will bring another cohort of hopefuls vying for their shot at the UFC roster.
