Ronald
Humphrey is a dangerous addition to the stacked
Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight division.

Humphrey (5-0) took on Alexis
Miranda (9-3) on
Week 3 of
Dana White's Contender Series 2026. He slammed his opponent
early, then dropped him with a jab and finished him with a
rear-naked choke in the first round.

Ronald Humphrey targets UFC gold after submitting Alexis
Miranda at DWCS

Humphrey revealed championship aspirations after earning his big
win. He was also covered in Miranda's blood after splitting him
open with a well-timed elbow. The blood tasted like chicken blood
to Humphrey, who claims he didn't mind consuming it. Humphrey then
sent a warning to all UFC welterweights between himself and the
belt.

“My f*cking existence is a declaration to warn any and everybody
who’s gonna try to stop my title run,†Humphrey said in his
post-fight interview. “Get in my way. It’s up… I threw an elbow; I
didn't know that sh*t was going to land like that, but it did.
That's a lot of blood. Weirdly enough, this sh*t is like chicken
blood; whatever, I'm eating it… Each and every one of you all are
finished; you're burned. Whoever is at 170 pounds, you're burned.
Remember my name.â€

Humphrey has finished all five of his opponents so far, going past
the first round only once.

ALL GRIT FOR THE FIRST ROUND SUB 😤

Ronald
Humphrey is now 5-0 after that 1st Round finish!

Nick
Galanti worked with a
Dana White's Contender Series alum ahead of his appearance on
the show.

Galanti (8-1) opened the action on
Week 3 of DWCS 2026 in a middleweight clash against Carlos
Petruzzella (15-2). While Galanti is known for his wrestling,
he floored Petruzzella with a right hook and finished him with
ground-and-pound in just 35 seconds.

Galanti later revealed that he has been working with former

Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Karl
Roberson to develop his striking. While he originally hoped for
a head-kick knockout, he is just as happy to have earned a UFC
contract with a right hook.

“Everyone says I'm just a grappler, but I have been working with my
guy Karl Roberson, UFC vet, Glory vet; he had one of the fastest
knockouts,†Galanti said in his post-fight interview. “The whole
time I was calling that right hook. I love that right hook in open
stances. I was hoping for a head-kick knockout, but I think it got
hooked up.â€

Roberson had earned his UFC contract with a 15-second knockout of
Ryan
Spann in the first season of DWCS in 2017. Galanti's teammate
Luke
Fernandez, who also trains with Roberson, scored the fastest
knockout in last season of DWCS in 15 seconds as well.

DIDN’T TAKE LONG AT ALL â°

Guilherme
Uriel believes he made a mistake by not using his jiu-jitsu in
his first
Dana White's Contender Series appearance last year.

Uriel (8-2) made his second DWCS appearance on Aug. 25 in a
heavyweight matchup against Mario
Piazzon in
Week 3 of Season 10. Uriel made Piazzon tap to a standing
guillotine in 50 seconds to earn an
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.

Guilherme Uriel explains the jiu-jitsu adjustment that helped
earn his UFC contract

Uriel had previously suffered a knockout loss against Josh Hokit
in his first DWCS opportunity last year. He believes he shouldn't
have abandoned his jiu-jitsu against Hokit. Uriel knew that
Piazzon, being a product of the
Galpao Da Luta gym, would inevitably grapple and hence worked
on his takedown defense and fence work ahead of their DWCS
bout.

“One of the things from last time, it was my sin not to use my
jiu-jitsu,†Uriel said in his post-fight interview. “And with all
due respect to Galpao Da Luta, that’s a great gym. We know they’re
tough people, but we trained all that, all the time. We knew that
jiu-jitsu was going to happen, and we, all the takedown defenses,
just make sure that everything was against the fence. And when that
neck was there, I said, ‘I’m taking that home. I’m not going to let
that go.'â€

Uriel has finished all eight of his career wins in the first
round.

TAP TAP TAP 👋

Guilherme
Uriel takes home the submission win via the gilly!
