DWCS Dana's Contender Series 2025 thread

[STAY GOLD]

Ewert is good. Surprised he got a spot on DWCS as he’s 31 and Dana always says every season he’s not looking to give DWCS contracts to fighters in their 30’s.

Delano, Diaz and Yakyaev are still the 3 fighters I’m interested the most in watching out of everyone signed so far.

He says that every year but they keep doing it lol.

Agree with those three but I'd add Susurkaev to those guys and probably Ticoto too.

Some really good fighters so far this year, hopefully it continues.

Thanks everyone for contributing.

I have updated the OP.

According to interview with Mehdi Dakaev Susurkaev is gonna compete at WW and his DWCS bout is scheduled for June.

Any news on Losene Keita?

Nothing yet, but I think he'd be direct rather than DWCS

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Talha back it looks like. Hopefully he competes at 185 this time.

No way he would be on DWCS or sign a DWCS contract.

UFC's stupid enough to offer him one though.

4-0, ex-Bellator and LFA, he had 2 contracts in the NFL, but never played

He doesn't seem bad actually - if they're willing to go as low as 4-0, I definitely see face tatts on DWCS this year (the 4-0 KO artist who just destroyed Schonefelder in CFFC).

That fight seems a little unfair tbh. I think Ticoto is the hardest hitting featherweight in the world, even ahead of Jean Silva.

Wilson might end up with his head in Dana's lap.

Hahah lol.
Yeah I remember you making that claim either in this thread or the Big Stupid Hype Trains thread. Looking forward to see him compete.

LFA is clearly the getaway for Brazilians between their local scene and DWCS. It used to be Jungle Fight
I am surprised by Damon Wilson. I follow CW, and I have no idea who he is. I was more expecting Luke Riley, small Hardwick, even maybe the Solomon Irish lad

He mainly fights on the San Diego cards. I think Riley will be on too but tbh I didn't really want him and Ticoto fighting each other.

Kinda suspected after he was added last year but Ares wouldn't let him out of contract. Another good prospect on the season.

This is one I've definitely heard of, seems highly rated.

That is another good one. ARES champions that aren't managed by ARES management are getting the chance to move on.

Everyone signed has already been offered fights before they were signed. Not sure why their managements teams are being so secretive about them. Just announce them. They've already agreed to them and signed the contract any way.

There's some that are clearly setup where you know who the favored fighter will be as per usual, but I'll wait for their teams make the announcements so they don't throw a fuss about folks making announcements before them.

Nice. He was on my wish list for last season.
