DWCS Results: Novenyi Jr. vs. Haig

Dana White's Contender Series returned to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Tuesday night, with a middleweight main event pitting former Bellator standout Norbert Novenyi Jr. against Theo Haig.

Novenyi Jr. brings an impressive recent run to the card, having compiled a 6-1 record during his time with Bellator before departing the promotion. Since leaving, the middleweight has scored three consecutive first-round finishes, demonstrating sharp finishing ability. Haig, meanwhile, is seeking redemption after failing to earn a contract during his Dana White's Contender Series appearance earlier in 2025.

The co-main event features a battle of undefeated welterweights as Alvi Dasuyev takes on Jaden Ortega. The card rounds out with additional bouts designed to showcase prospects vying for UFC deals.

The Contender Series, now in its tenth season, has awarded 28 total UFC contracts to date, with four contracts distributed during the previous week's show. Tuesday's card represents another opportunity for prospects to earn their way into the world's premier mixed martial arts organization.
