Kaik Brito punched his ticket to the UFC in style on Tuesday.Brito entered his main event on Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) this week, just six months removed from a breathtaking spinning backfist knockout that had the entire MMA world talking.Brito caught Namo Fazil with a massive overhand right in the third round of their main eventGettyAnd Fazil was instantly knocked out cold, earning Brito a UFC contractGettyDWCS offers prospects the chance to fight for a UFC contract, with Tuesday’s event the second week of the organisation’s 10th season.Although athletes don’t always get to White‘s promotion with a victory, Brito made sure the UFC CEO had no choice but to sign him after his remarkable KO.It was an action-packed opening two rounds in the welterweight division against Namo Fazil, who fought on Netflix as part of the Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano card in May — Jake Paul‘s first MMA event under his Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) banner.But just 12 seconds into round three, the fight ended in a flash.Brito scores ‘spectacular’ KO on DWCSAfter sprinting towards Fazil with a flying knee at the beginning of the round, Brito found himself on the back foot fighting against the cage.He then slipped a straight right from Fazil before missing with an overhand left.However, his attempted left hand left Fazil’s head wide open and perfectly set up a nuclear overhand right.Fazil failed to move out of the way in time and Brito’s effort snapped his head back in an instant, knocking the Kurdish fighter out cold.It was one of the most sensational knockouts in DWCS history and White, of course, was full of praise for the 29-year-old Brazilian, who has never gone to a decision in all 20 of his professional MMA wins.“What can you not say about the main event? It was incredible,” White said as he handed out contracts to six of the fighters, including one loser, on the night.View Tweet: https://x.com/paramountplus?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwUFC CEO White went wild when Brito flattened FazilGetty“And the fact that Fazil had so many fans in here going crazy.“Brito, I love your style, I love the way you fight and you had a guy in your face all night taking your best shots and coming at you.“You came out with a flying knee in the third round, tried to finish the fight and finished it in spectacular fashion.“I cannot wait to see you fight in the UFC, my friend — get over here.”Brito envisioned knockout to get into UFCBrito, now 20-6 in his career, was overcome with emotion when White announced his arrival to the UFC.The Goias native said post-fight he was forced to block a lot of Fazil’s fans on social media due to hate messages he received in the build-up to his DWCS appearance.Brito failed to hold back his tears when he was awarded a UFC contractGetty“You have no idea how many messages I got,” Brito said through a translator.“I had to block people so that I could check on my Instagram and have it function normally.“But at the end of the day, I see this as a job that you need to get done.“It didn’t bother me, but there were a lot of messages — there were even calls coming.”He said he envisioned knocking out Fazil in front of White.“It happened in my mind and exactly the way I had seen it,” Brito concluded.UFC ScheduleThere are still several blockbuster shows and exciting contests for fight fans to look forward to in 2026, and you can find the full list of all confirmed events and official bouts as part of talkSPORT.com’s UFC schedule.The UFC, on average, puts on 13 to 14 premium events in a calendar year, with up to 30 smaller ‘Fight Night’ cards allowing prospects and less experienced fighters to showcase their talents.On January 1, 2026, Dana White’s promotion signed a seven-year broadcast deal with CBS and Paramount+ for exclusive rights in the US, meaning the UFC has put on shows like never before this year.With the historic first event in the new Paramount era, UFC 324, delivering huge success, and a one-of-a-kind fight card at the White House in June opening up the UFC to a new audience, the promotion remains a premium global sports brand, and fans are eager to keep track of results and upcoming fights.Newly signed UFC fighter Islam Dulatov sent Brito a $5,000 bonus for knocking out Fazil, who had previously talked trash about Dulatov.
