Aline Pereira headlines the Season 10 finale of Dana White's Contender Series on October 13 in Las Vegas. The five-fight card closes a historic run, and Dana White will be watching the final 10 prospects try to separate themselves before the season ends.
Through nine weeks, 42 combatants have already punched their ticket to the UFC Octagon. That leaves Week 10 as the last window for this season’s remaining prospects to make the case that they belong in the UFC system.
October 13 in Las Vegas
Week 10 takes place at 7pm ET, with the card also listed for 4pm PT in Las Vegas. The event can be streamed live on Paramount+ in the United States, and the page will be updated live throughout the night.
The setup is straightforward. A five-fight card gives the final group of prospects one last stage, and the season finale format means there is no later reset point inside this Contender Series Season. For anyone following the series as a talent pipeline, this is the night when the remaining open slots for attention are at their narrowest.
Dana White and the matchmakers
Dana White and the matchmakers are the audience that matters most here. The final 10 prospects are not just fighting for a result; they are trying to make a lasting impression on White in the same night the 10th season closes.
That is the pressure point in Week 10. Through nine weeks, the season had already produced 42 combatants who punched their ticket to the UFC Octagon, so the finale is not about whether the pipeline is working. It is about which fighters can still force their way into it before the last card ends.
What this finale leaves open
The live update format means the night will keep changing as each fight ends, but the key question remains which of the final 10 prospects will leave with UFC contracts. For readers tracking the series as a business of opportunity, the useful move is simple: watch the live card, then watch which names are added to the season’s closing ledger.
