UFC Contender 77
Dana White's Contender Series 77 (DWCS 77) took place on August 11, 2025, in Las Vegas, with all fighters successfully making weight during the official weigh-ins held at the UFC host hotel.
The event, which marks the ninth season premiere of the series, streams live on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, from the UFC Apex facility and will be broadcast on ESPN+ at an earlier start time of 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT) to avoid a scheduling conflict with The Ultimate Fighter.

The main event features undefeated middleweight Ilian Bouafia (6-0) facing Neemias Santana (7-2-1), both of whom weighed in at 186 pounds, meeting the non-title middleweight limit.
The co-main event is a welterweight bout between Ty Miller and Jimmy Drago, each weighing in at 170.5 pounds, half a pound under the 171-pound limit.
Other notable bouts include middleweights Baysangur Susurkaev (8-0) vs. Murtaza Talha (7-1), and a featherweight clash between Radley Da Silva (7-1) and George Mangos (7-0).
A middleweight fight between Christopher Ewert and Yuri Panferov was initially postponed after Ewert was briefly signed to the UFC, but the bout has been reinstated for this card following Ewert’s release due to weight-cut issues prior to UFC 317.

I hope one of these other cats can win versus the nose. He stopped breaking news and covering stories when he joined ESPN. He’s more of an influencer or podcaster.

Their last major star. Hope Paramount forces TKO to promote their fighters.

Great news. 5,000 would be a huge improvement to the atmosphere.

Ya know what’s crazy. The price to watch UFC is cheaper except in person.
