A clash of proven finishers is headed to Dana White’s Contender Series, as Mario Piazzon and Guilherme Uriel are scheduled to meet on the Aug. 25 episode at Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
The matchup was reported to MMA Junkie by two people with knowledge of the booking who requested anonymity because the promotion has not made an official announcement. No other fights have been announced for the Aug. 25 DWCS card at this time.
Piazzon enters the bout with a 10-1 professional record and is a training partner of former UFC heavyweight contender Jailton Almeida. He previously appeared on DWCS in 2023, winning by disqualification, and has gone 3-1 with two TKOs since then.
Uriel holds a 7-2 professional record and also has past DWCS experience, having competed on the 2025 season where he was knocked out by Josh Hokit. He rebounded with a 96-second knockout of Leonardo Fraga at LFA 229 in March.
Piazzon and Uriel bring a combined 14 career finishes in 17 wins into their return to the Contender Series.
