DWCS 93 Staff Picks: Middleweight Finishers Collide
DWCS 93)takes place tonight in the bustling city of Las Vegas.
In the main event, Hungarian-born competitor Norbert Novenyi Jr. comes to blows with series alumni Theo Haig. Undefeated standouts Jaden Ortega and Alvi Dasuyev square off in a much-anticipated showdown.
DWCS 93 Main Event
Fighting a total of seven times in former big-time promotion Bellator, Novenyi Jr. garnered an impressive 6-1 record under their banner, with his only loss coming against future PFL star Dalton Rosta. Logging three straight first round stoppage victories since then, the time for “Magic” to shine on the grandest stage in mixed martial arts is now.
In 2025, Haig attempted to gain entry in the UFC during his first appearance on the Contender Series, which ended with him suffering a swift knockout defeat against Cezary Oleksiejczuk. Getting back into the winner’s circle following a superb finish over Lance Wright five months later, DWCS 93 could be the 30-year-old's ultimate chance of redemption.
DWCS 93 Co-Main Event
At 6-0, Ortega has taken out all but one of his opponents inside the distance, totalling five triumphs by strikes. While he may be still in the early phases of his career, the Sikjitsu athlete is eager to demonstrate he can perform at the highest level.
Also perfect as a professional, Dasuyev is coming off a highlight-reel outing at Ares FC 41, where the Belgian captured the promotion’s interim welterweight title. In an upcoming thrilling prospect clash at DWCS 93, “Spartan” can net himself a great deal of momentum should he manage to steal the zero of Ortega.
