Dana White highlights Bilal Hasan, Luis Hernandez and Anthony Wint as exciting prospects to watch from Dana White’s Contender Series Season 10.
Dana White's Contender Series continues to introduce up-and-coming talent to the UFC, and this season, three fighters have particularly caught the promotion boss's attention during Season 10. Bilal Hasan, Luis Hernandez, and Anthony Wint all impressed White with their standout performances, earning them contracts and putting themselves on the radar ahead of their UFC debuts.
Each fighter took a different route to land a deal, but they all shared a knack for delivering exciting finishes.
Bilal Hasan and Anthony Wint Make Strong First Impressions
Hasan really made waves right from the start of Season 10. In just 45 seconds, the flyweight prospect took down India's Mridul Saikia, boosting his unbeaten professional record to an impressive 9-0, with one no contest.
White couldn't help but admire how well Hasan managed the pressure surrounding his highly anticipated appearance.
“I’m excited about you. I’m excited to see your future, and I’m really pumped for your first fight in the UFC,” White said before welcoming him to the promotion.
Heavyweight Anthony Wint certainly made a statement that night, stopping Matt Adams in just 34 seconds. The former New York Jets linebacker showcased his power and striking skills to secure the finish, marking a successful shift from aspiring professional football player to UFC fighter.
White praised Wint's physical prowess and infectious enthusiasm, adding that he's eager to get back in the ring soon.
Luis Hernandez Impresses With Comeback Finish
Hernandez earned his UFC contract during week six by taking down Hugo Guillon with a rear-naked choke just 1:01 into the second round. The middleweight faced a difficult exchange, battling through a tricky exchange and a submission attempt before managing to turn the tide in his favor.
White praised the contest, highlighting the toughness and determination shown by both fighters. Now, the three prospects have a chance to build on their performances from the Contender Series and make their mark on the UFC roster. Their upcoming debuts will be a true test of how well their skills hold up against more seasoned opponents.
