Dana White's Contender Series Week 10 Preview

It's been 10 straight weeks of fights for the UFC with prospects from every corner of the world competing for a chance at a UFC contract. Tonight, 10 fighters from 7 different countries get that very shot inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fight Card

The main event of the evening is a middleweight matchup between Nick Klein (5-1) and Heraldo Souza (9-1-1), who have only seen the distance once in their careers. Fury FC alumni are in the co-headliner as Nick Piccininni (7-0) meets fellow undefeated prospect Luis Gurule (9-0).

Piccininni was scheduled to rematch Jack Duffy after winning by split decision on a previous episode in August but Duffy withdrew, leaving Gurule to step in on short notice - an opportunity of a lifetime.

Another fighter from Fury FC's booming regional scene is "The Cuban Problem" Yadier DelValle (7-0), who's been on a tear, never having lost in 11 fights from the amateurs to the pros. The 28 year-old takes on Brazil's Antonio Monteiro (17-4-1).
