10 welterweights you can expect to see on Dana White’s Contender Series, Season 4

The return of Dana White’s Contender Series isn’t far off, and here are 10 welterweights who are candidates to appear on the show.

Andrzej Grzebyk

Record: 16-3
Age: 29
Height: 6’0″
Birthplace:
Poland

It’s unlikely many American fans are familiar with [autotag]Andrzej Grzebyk[/autotag]. The Polish kickboxer has competed exclusively overseas since he was 22. Now 29 years old, Grzebyk has accumulated wins for various European promotions including Fight Exclusive Night, XFN, and more. Riding an eight-fight winning streak, Grzebyk has never been a hotter commodity. A savage knockout artist, any promotion would be lucky to have Grzebyk thrilling their fans. On DWCS season 3, Europeans trickled onto the show. If the upswing of international fighters continues into season 4, expect Grzebyk’s name to top the list.

Anthony Ivy

Record: 8-2
Age: 30
Height: 6’2″
Birthplace:
San Antonio, Texas

When [autotag]Anthony Ivy[/autotag] stepped into the cage against highly-touted prospect Willis Black at WXC 82 in September, he was the underdog in the eyes of many – despite having a solid resume of his own. The Texan quickly dismissed the doubters by dominating, then finishing Black with a punch in Round 4. The win extended his streak to five – all of which ended inside the distance. His most recent three opponents have a combined record of 21-4 (at the times of the fights). Ivy is no longer an under-the-radar fighter. He’s proven himself to be one of the best 170-pounders in the world. With a win on DWCS, he’ll be able to show what he can do in the big leagues.
