Sundell Beats Alex Pereira's Sister, Four Earn UFC Deals at DWCS Finale

Smilla Sundell outpointed Aline Pereira to close out DWCS Season 10, one of four fighters who punched their ticket to the UFC on Tuesday night.

The 21-year-old Muay Thai prodigy earned herself a UFC contract in the women's bantamweight division.

Sundell wasn't the only winner on the night. Douglas Lapa needed a recovery job to get there, dropping the first round against Davi Cabral before a run of takedown exchanges in round two shifted momentum his way. He finished the job just nineteen seconds into round three with a right hook that put Cabral away.

Lightweight Gregory Foster also punched his ticket, outworking Jason Asher in a genuine back-and-forth scrap that went the distance. Foster's mother watched the win from a hospital bed on her own birthday. Asked about his gritty style afterward, Foster put it simply: 'I'm not a 2025 Camaro, but I have mileage.'

Those three performances, plus a fourth contract awarded on the night, brought Season 10 of Contender Series to a close with four new names added to the UFC roster.

The Pereira name carries extra weight right now. Alex Pereira sits at number three in our light heavyweight rankings, carrying an Elo rating of 1571 across ten tracked bouts, and he's coming off a knockout loss to Ciryl Gane this past June.
