DWCS Results: Rizvan Kuniev Among Four Fighters Awarded UFC Deals
By FCF Staff
Another Dana White Contender Series card took place on Tuesday, and it saw four fighters receive UFC deals, including PFL veteran, Rizvan Kuniev.
The heavyweight Kuniev faced Hugo Cunha, and he proceeded to finish with him strikes late in round one.
Kuniev recorded a win over Renan Ferreira last year while competing under the PFL banner, but the victory was overturned after the Dagestan fighter tested positive for banned substances.
