A lightweight fight has been added to the Dana White’s Contender Series opening lineup for Season 4.
On Aug. 4 at DWCS 27, UFC hopefuls Taylor Callens and Uros Medic will square off for the chance to potentially earn a UFC contract.
Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking on Saturday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Callens (6-0) has competed for notable regional promotions V3 Fights and Valor Fights. The Tennesee native has won back-to-back fights with submissions. Callens has only competed once since 2015.
Born in Serbia, Medic (5-0) has spent most of his career fighting for Alaska FC. Through five professional fights, Medic sports a 100 percent finishing rate. Medic will be dropping down to lightweight from welterweight.
DWCS will kick off Aug. 4 and is expected to run for 10 episodes, with the season concluding Oct. 6.
With the addition, the DWCS 27 lineup includes:
- Mana Martinez vs. Drako Rodriguez
- Kenny Cross vs. Kevin Syler
- Cameron Church vs. Jose Flores
- Taylor Callens vs. Uros Medic
