Overview
- The Week 2 event, which took place Tuesday, Aug. 18 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, produced multiple stoppages and led Dana White to hand out six UFC contracts.
- Kaik Brito, Trent Miller, Cristian Perez, Alik Lorenz, Roman Puga and Taner Trembley were all offered UFC deals after their performances on the card.
- Dana White awarded contracts to both Roman Puga and Taner Trembley from the same featherweight bout after matchmaker Sean Shelby urged that Trembley also be signed.
- The card featured three knockouts and one submission, including a 12-second third-round knockout by Kaik Brito and a rare Von Flue choke by Trent Miller that were central to White’s decisions.
- Half the card were DWCS returnees seeking redemption, the show streams weekly on Paramount+ from the Meta APEX, and several fighters required immediate post-fight medical checks before celebrating their contracts.
