DWCS 91: Pasley - Berisha, two unbeaten men in the main event

Fifth night of season 10 of the Dana White's Contender Series tonight at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas: five fights, and as many UFC contracts to be won. The main event pairs two unbeaten light heavyweights whose eight combined wins are all first-round finishes.

Who won the DWCS 91 main event?

Quentin Pasley wins by first-round knockout (4:41) over Arlind Berisha. The Connecticut light heavyweight takes the Albanian down, threatens a D'Arce choke, then switches to elbows from side control: two strikes are enough, and Berisha is out before the referee can step in.

Pasley moves to 4-0, four fights and four first-round finishes, and leaves with his UFC contract — Dana White compared him to Jon Jones as he handed it over. Berisha takes the first loss of his career (5-1).

Three other winners are signed in his wake: Isaac Moreno, who beats Reginaldo Junior by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28), Martin Kozak, who stops Christian Echols in the second round (1:32), and Christian Natividad, who folds Colton Loud with a liver shot in the first (1:10). Apollo Gomes also wins by unanimous decision, over Won Il Kwon, but leaves without a contract.

Who is in the DWCS 91 main event?

Quentin Pasley (3-0) against Arlind Berisha (5-0), at light heavyweight. Neither man has ever lost, and neither has ever seen a second round.

Berisha, 25, an Albanian living in Kosovo, fights out of 038 Fight Club: all five of his professional opponents went in the opening round. Pasley, 24, from New Haven, Connecticut, comes out of the Fighting Arts Academy with three wins and three first-round knockouts — the last of them in August 2025.

What about the rest of the card?

Isaac Moreno (8-0) - Reginaldo Junior (11-1), at welterweight, puts an unbeaten Primetime Headquarters man against the Fighting Nerds grappler from Sao Paulo, the deepest record on the card.

Martin Kozak (6-0) - Christian Echols (8-4) is the one fight that started on the scale: the CFC middleweight champion, a 10th Planet brown belt, weighed in at 189 pounds, three over, and will forfeit a percentage of his purse. The fight goes ahead. Across from him, the Slovak from Mattix MMA, a former RFA champion, has yet to lose.

Won Il Kwon (14-6) - Apollo Gomes (12-2), at bantamweight, brings the South Korean from P-Boy MMA back to the place where Juan Dias knocked him out in the second round. He has not fought since. Gomes comes from Chute Boxe.

Colton Loud (7-1) - Christian Natividad (9-0) closes the card at flyweight, with an Omaha man who has never let a fight go the distance — six of his seven wins in the first round — facing an unbeaten opponent.
