Elite Warrior Challenge 8: Cage of Rage

Fedor Emelianenko has reopened one of MMA's oldest unanswered questions. Nearly 20 years after a fight with Randy Couture fell apart amid Couture's UFC contract dispute, Fedor says he still trains, remains open to competing and would prefer Couture over Brock Lesnar: “I'm ready if he's ready.”

DWCS 2026 Week 6 produced four UFC contracts and four finishes at the Meta APEX. Akbar Abdullaev needed only 19 seconds for a one-punch knockout, while Mayton Perea, Igor Cavalcanti and Luis Hernandez also earned deals. Tyshawn Williams stayed unbeaten but was instead offered another Contender Series opportunity.

DWCS 2026 Week 6 brings five more fights to Las Vegas on September 15, led by unbeaten Zevan Hunt against Mayton Perea. Akbar Abdullaev arrives with a 13-0 record, Igor Cavalcanti gets another Contender Series opportunity and Luis Hernandez puts his perfect record on the line in a loaded Dana White's Contender Series lineup.
