Scouting Prospects for Dana White’s Contender Series Season 6

Justin Wetzell

Bantamweight | 30 | Denver, Colorado, US | 7-1 | Win streak: 6 | 3 KO/TKOs

Wetzell has been very slept on over the past few years. He tried out for The Ultimate Fighter Season 29 but didn’t make it. Next, he was rumored to fight on the Contender Series last season but it never happened. He’s 3-0 inside the LFA cage. He took out Askar Askar who was signed briefly to the UFC and was close to another shot in his last fight. Wetzell is well-rounded having the ability to fight anywhere the fight takes him. He shouldn’t be denied anymore.

Kirill Kornilov

Heavyweight | 30 | St. Petersburg, Russia | 12-0-1 | Win streak: 12 | 9 KO/TKOs, 1 Submission

Kornilov is a former kickboxer who has competed for Glory. With that experience in kickboxing, MMA seems to be the sport built for him. His counter striking, his jab, and his clinch work are things most heavyweights don’t possess at the level he does. His resume is pretty good, beating a lot of good names and more experienced fighters. Kornilov should be on the shortlist of being signed. He’s one of the best heavyweight prospects out there so he will probably be a consideration.
