Bella Mir Headlines DWCS Week 3 as Record Betting Favorite

The Tuesday Contender Series main event is a high‑visibility audition with sportsbooks making Mir the largest women’s favorite in DWCS history and a UFC contract still subject to Dana White’s discretion.

Overview

  • Dana White’s Contender Series Season 10 Week 3 is scheduled to stream from the Meta APEX on Paramount+ Tuesday night and official weigh‑ins were completed without issues.
  • Bookmakers opened extreme lines on fight night, listing Mir as the biggest women’s favorite in Contender Series history with reported prices ranging from about -1600 to as steep as -3600 on some books.
  • Mir enters 4-0 as a multi‑sport grappling standout with an NCAA wrestling title, IBJJF/No‑Gi success and multiple first‑round submissions, a pedigree repeatedly highlighted by UFC promotion and media.
  • Alex Apodaca, a 3-1 fighter coming off three decision wins, says the heavy Mir hype motivates her and warns that mixed martial arts outcomes are unpredictable despite steep odds.
  • DWCS remains the UFC’s televised talent pipeline where recent weeks produced multiple signings, but a standout performance on the show does not automatically guarantee a UFC contract because the final decision rests with Dana White.
