Scouting Prospects for Dana White’s Contender Series Season 6

Ignacio Capella

Lightweight | 30 | Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain | 7-1 | Win streak: 7 | 5 KO/TKOs, 1 Submission

If the UFC brass has watched anything on Capella they’re go ahead and send him a contract. Capella is an action-packed fighter from Spain, and that is a county that could be represented more in the UFC. Capella is constantly going to push the pace and be in your face. He’s a volume guy throwing purely combinations. He likes to get in the pocket and rip to the body and head. Capella can land that kill shot at any point having power in both hands. He’s a must for the Contender Series.

Kerim Engizek

Welterweight | 30 | Düsseldorf, Germany | 16-4 | Win streak: 9 | 10 KO/TKOs, 3 Submissions

Engizek has quietly flown under the radar but arguably has the best resume of all German prospects. He’s the current GMC welterweight champion who has defended his title three times. His last loss was in 2014 and he’s currently on a big win streak. Engizek is a good counter striker, slipping and often coming over the top with his right hand. Engizek isn’t stingy as he goes to the body frequently, mixing it up the way fighters should. He does have a ground game as well and while it is fine, he’s much better at striking. An underrated fighter that would fit right in on the Contender Series.
