Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) Dana White’s Contender Series is an American MMA competition and talent-scouting promotion created in 2017 by UFC President Dana White to find and showcase rising fighters seeking a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Held annually (typically with about ten weekly fight nights) at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, the series features promising male and female prospects — often straight from regional and feeder promotions — competing in front of White and UFC matchmakers with the chance to earn a UFC contract based on their performances.
Unlike standard MMA promotions that operate independent leagues, DWCS acts as a feeder system for the UFC, where standout victories can lead directly to a roster spot in the world’s largest MMA organization; notable UFC fighters such as Sean O’Malley and Jamahal Hill earned their starts here. The series has grown into a respected gateway to the UFC and continues to be broadcast on major streaming platforms as part of the UFC’s broader fight lineup.
