Dana White’s Contender Series 7 and 8 lineups revealed; one fighter returns for seconds
Joby Sanchez is getting another crack at it.
The flyweight is returning to Dana White’s Contender Series to take on J.P. Buys in the seventh installment. The lineups for both DWCS 7 and 8 are set to close out the first season.
DWCS 7 takes place Aug. 22 and DWCS 8 on Aug. 29, with both events hailing from The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas and streaming live on UFC Fight Pass.
Sanchez (10-2, 1-2 UFC) on July 11 defeated Manny Vasquez at DWCS 1 by unanimous decision but did not secure a UFC contract. The victory marked his third in a row. He’s trying to get back into the UFC after a previous three-fight stint with the industry leader that ended in 2015.
Buys (4-1) will enter having competed his entire pro career to this point in Extreme Fighting Championship, where all five of his bouts have ended in finishes.
The DWCS 7 lineup includes:
- Anton Berzin vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu
- Benito Lopez vs. Steven Peterson
- J.P. Buys vs. Joby Sanchez
- Mark Cherico vs. Mike Santiago
- Jordan Espinosa vs. Nick Urso
The DWCS 8 lineup includes:
- Matt Frevola vs. Luke Flores
- Bevon Lewis vs. Elias Urbina
- Allen Crowder vs. Don’Tale Mayes
- Adam Antolin vs. Casey Kenney
- Janay Harding vs. Kelly McGill-Velasco
