Both Alex Perez and Taila Santos went on to fight for championship gold after getting their breaks on DWCS. One fighter from the show has even gone on to earn double digit wins inside the octagon, despite the series starting in 2017.
Here are five fighters from Dana White's Contender Series who have gone on to notch the most victories in the UFC:
3. (tied) Brendan Allen - 7 UFC wins
Brendan Allen may not get as much recognition as the other names on his list, but he deserves credit as one of the most successful products from DWCS. Allen secured his contract after picking up a first-round submission win on the show and has gone an impressive 7-2 inside the octagon.

Allen's first fight as part of the organization came in a win over fellow DWCS alumni Kevin Holland. He's defeated the likes of Holland, Kyle Daukaus, and Karl Roberson and is currently riding a two-fight winning streak. His only losses have come against high-level competitors Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis.
Allen has proven himself to be one of the better fighters in the middleweight division, and at just 26-years-old, he has a bright future ahead of him. Look for him to enter the rankings before too long, and from there, who knows how good he could end up being?
