How to Watch DWCS 2022, Week 10

Before Dana White's Contender Series calls “Ally Ally Oxen Free” and shuts down for the year, one last batch of hopefuls will try to vault to the Ultimate Fighting Championship—including one who has a little more than just hope going for him.

DWCS 2022, Week 10, which takes place on Tuesday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streams live to ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, features several intriguing prospects, including lanky English lightweight Sam Patterson, who comes in on a five-fight win streak in Brave Combat Federation, one of the UFC’s most reliable talent pipelines over the last three years. However, the obvious center of attention will be three-time NCAA Division I wrestling champ Bo Nickal, who faces Donovan Beard in the middleweight headliner. Nickal, who thrashed Zachary Borrego in just 62 seconds on Week 3 in August, somewhat surprisingly did not receive a contract offer—he remains the only winner since Week 1 not to be signed on the spot—but was told he would get another chance on the show. That chance comes Tuesday, and he is once again an overwhelming favorite to have his hand raised.
