At middleweight, Igor Cavalcanti viciously finished Oscar Ravello in the first round with punches. It was just a very impressive performance by Cavalcanti, who dropped Ravello early on in the fight and continued to rain down punches until the referee was forced in to stop the fight. With the win, Cavalcanti earned a UFC contract.
Igor Cavalcanti gets the TKO tonight!

In the lightweight division, Akbar Abdullaev knocked out Ednilson Santos in just 19 seconds, landing a massive overhand right to score the KO. This was a squash match based on the odds, and it turned out to be the case as Abdullaev earned a UFC contract with the big win. Since Abdullaev took zero damage in this fight, look for the UFC to turn him around quickly and get him into the Octagon for his official debut very quickly.
Akbar Abdullaev UNCORKS a right hand for the clean KO!

But Hernandez turned the tide and was able to find the submission for the highlight-reel win to earn a UFC contract.

Dana White Passes on 1 Fighter
At featherweight, kicking off the card, Tyshawn Williams defeated Antonio Monteiro via unanimous decision. Williams started off the fight strong, but he gassed out, and Monteiro tied it up heading into the third round. But in the third round, Williams got his second wind and somehow managed to win the fight by unanimous decision. No contract given, but White will give Williams another fight on the DWCS.
By signing four more fighters, White has now signed 28 fighters so far in Season 10 of DWCS out of the 30 fights. 27 winners have received deals, while one loser has also earned a UFC contract.
