DWCS Contract Winner Knows The Real Work Begins Saturday At UFC Fight Night: Ribas vs Namajunas
By Thomas Gerbasi • Mar. 20, 2024
One might assume that there is no more pressure-filled fight than a UFC debut. Steven Nguyen might have something to say about that.
Unbeaten as a pro, Nguyen stepped into the UFC APEX for the first time in 2019 to face Aalon Cruz on Dana White’s Contender Series, only to leave the building with his first loss. Following a 30-second win in an LFA bout in his return, he got a second call to DWCS in 2021, and this time he left with a decision victory over Theo Rlayang, but no UFC contract.
