Marcos
Degli entered
Dana White's Contender Series with plenty to prove and left the

Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.

The Brazilian flyweight submitted Paris Moran
with a standing one-arm rear-naked choke at the 4:46 mark of the
second round at DWCS Season 10
Week 7, extending his winning streak to 13 straight. Degli had
an emotional response to the massive achievement.

Marcos Degli extends his winning streak to 13 with submission
of Paris Moran

Degli has built a reputation as one of Brazil's more dangerous
flyweight prospects. Against Moran, Degli showed that his
submission game is just as potent as his striking. The victory was
enough to convince UFC CEO Dana
White to award him a contract.

In his post-fight interview, Degli (15-3) talked about his
grandmother.

“I lost my grandma at the start of the year and I wish that she was
here to see where her grandson made it. We made it,†Degli said. “I
am sure she would be really proud. I am gonna make her really
proud.â€

He also touched on the support he's received from his wife.

“She is the most invaluable thing I have in my life,†Degli said.
“She's there for me no matter what.â€

Degli went 2-3 in his pro career before racking up 13 wins on the
bounce.

Alvi
Dasuyev kept his perfect record intact and punched his ticket
to the
Ultimate Fighting Championship with a unanimous decision
victory over Jaden
Ortega on
Dana White's Contender Series.

The victory moved Dasuyev to 10-0 as a professional and marked only
the second time he had seen a second round. UFC CEO Dana

Dasuyev while also recognizing Ortega's performance.

after earning his UFC contract

Dasuyev and Ortega went to war over three rounds on DWCS Season 10

Week 7. White had nothing but praise for Dasuyev and even
offered Ortega a contract.

In a post-fight interview, Dasuyev expressed his joy at earning a
UFC contract.

“It's a dream that's coming true,†Dasuyev said. “Really thankful
for that. I think it's a dream for every MMA fighter. I am
happy.â€

Furthermore, soon after the fight, he revealed that he had jet lag
and would've performed better and found the finish if he felt
100%.

“If I didn’t have jet lag and stuff, I would knock him out,â€
Dasuyev told Laura Sanko.
“I’m sure about that. I hate that guy, to be honest.”

Caio
Borralho is willing to take a risky matchup to stay active.

The
Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight is set to face
Yousri
Belgaroui at UFC
334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Borralho
is among the top-ranked contenders at 185 pounds, while Belgaroui
is unranked. The former recently detailed his reasoning for
accepting the fight.

Caio Borralho prioritizes activity against Yousri Belgaroui
after emergency surgery

Borralho had been sidelined following emergency surgery. Eager to
return to competition and avoid another lengthy hiatus from the
Octagon, the Brazilian told Sherdog that he'll accept whatever is
offered to him to avoid ring rust.

“I've been almost six months without fighting,†Borralho said. “I
had to take some time off because I had to undergo emergency
surgery on my rib. I want to stay active. I believe I'm one of the
best in the world. Whoever they put in front of me, I'm going to
have to prove that I'm one of the best in the world. If this is the
fight you guys think makes sense, I'll take it, because I'm a
fighter. This is my job.â€

He acknowledged that the bout carries more potential downside than
upside from a rankings perspective.

“If I beat him, I maintain my position in the rankings; maybe I
won't move up,†Borralho continued. “But there are all the other
things I talked about: not being inactive, beating a guy who is
coming in on a roll and who everyone thinks is going to knock me
out. This is a fight where I'm only moving forward. I'll win this
one, move on to the next, win again and then go for the belt.
That's how I see it.â€

Borralho beat Reinier
de Ridder in his last outing, which saw him bounce back from
the lone defeat of his UFC career so far, against Nassourdine
Imavov.
