​Kaik Brito KOs Namo Fazil The second week of 2026’s edition of Contender Series delivered a ton of action, capped off by a savage knockout of a fan favorite.On Tuesday night, Week 2 of Season 10 of Contender Series took place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, featuring three knockouts — including one of the most brutal knockouts in Contender Series history — one submission, the best fight of the season so far, and six UFC contracts handed out.Kaik Brito def. Namo Fazil In the main event, Namo Fazil took on Kaik Brito in a high-profile welterweight contest. Fazil is an extremely popular fighter who most recently competed on the undercard of the MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano fight card, but he didn’t get an easy out in Brito, who put on a show right from the start.Brito was the much more dynamic and dangerous fighter early in the bout, but Fazil’s pressure and durability proved problematic for Brito as the fight wore on. Heading into the final round, it looked like Fazil was on the verge of breaking Brito, but just a few seconds into the round, Brito launched a combination out of nowhere, with the final punch landing clean and sending Fazil crashing to the canvas brutally.AS CLEAN AS YOU GET 🧼[ #DWCS | LIVE on @ParamountPlus ] pic.twitter.com/34VBKl8g4c— UFC on Paramount+ (@UFConParamount) August 19, 2026Though Brito lost in his first Contender Series outing, dropping a decision to Oban Elliott in 2023, this time not only did he win, but he also earned a UFC contract.Trent Miller def.

Once the second round started, Miller quickly went for a takedown, and Rodrigues jumped on a guillotine, but that ended up costing him as Miller put him to sleep with a Von Flue choke.TRENT MILLER GOES VON FLUE TO GET THE VICTORY 🤩[ #DWCS | LIVE on @ParamountPlus ] pic.twitter.com/b8ObSMIKyb— UFC on Paramount+ (@UFConParamount) August 19, 2026Christian Perez def.
