Fantasy Booking Dana White’s Contender Series Season 9

Week 5

  • Welterweight, Isaac Moreno (6-0) vs. Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani (7-2)
  • Lightweight, Christian Lohsen (11-2) Vs. Gauge Young (8-2)
  • Featherweight, Matheus Camilo (8-2) Vs. Marcio Barbosa (15-2)
  • Flyweight, Phumi Nkuta (8-0) Vs. Lake Gee (7-0)
  • Lightweight, Ramazan Gitinov (5-0) Vs. Nikita Leshukov (7-0)

Notes: Phumi Nkuta has been waiting seemingly forever for his shot at the UFC. The talented flyweight is 8-0, and has never fought anyone with a losing record (he did take on a debuting fighter, but in his second pro fight, so no issues there). He’s won gold in CFFC and Peak Fighting, and even has a win at bantamweight. He easily could have been on DWCS at any point in the past couple of years.

Unbeaten welterweight Isaac Moreno hasn’t fought in over a year but he did pick up a win on the grappling circuit this past summer. He’ll have his work cut out for him (in our fantasy booking) against Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani, a former LXF champ now fighting for LFA.
