Dana White's Contender Series 2024 Week 3: Preview, Breakdown & Betting Odds

Flyweights will open the evening when Jack Duffy and Nick Piccininni square off in a matchup between undefeated fighters, followed by a bantamweight tilt between the also-unbeaten Malcolm Wellmaker and Caged Steel Bantamweight Champion Adam Bramhald.

Things move to the middleweight division next for a fight featuring Matthieu Duclos and Marco Tulio, who is currently the biggest favorite on the card after he failed to earn a UFC contract last year with a unanimous decision win over Yousri Belgaroui.

Featherweight Bogdan Grad will also get his second DWCS opportunity after being knocked out by Tom Nolan when he meets Michael Aswell, and the final bout of the night will see Shlemenko FC veteran Andrey Pulyaev take on Liam Anderson.
