Dana White's Contender Series 2025: Week 10 free live stream results & highlights

The 2025 edition of Dana White’s Contender Series officially wraps up tonight (October 14) as 12 fighters meet at the UFC Apex to try and punch their ticket to the UFC on Week 10.
Week 9 of DWCS kicked off with an incredible 15-second knockout from Luke Fernandez before Luis Dias and Imanol Rodriguez followed that up with stoppage-wins of their own. The night closed out with a pair of decisions and saw Mark Vologdin become one of the rare fighters to earn a contract even with a loss, and heading into Week 10 a total of 40 UFC contracts have now been handed out this season.
Fans will be treated to an extra fight on Week 10 with six total bouts scheduled rather than the usual five, and the evening will see fighters in every male UFC division other than flyweight and lightweight try to impress Dana White and earn themselves UFC contracts.
