Smilla Sundell Secures UFC Contract After Victory at Dana White’s Contender Series

Smilla Sundell has officially secured a spot on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster. The strawweight prospect earned her contract following a victory over Aline Pereira during Week 10 of Dana White’s Contender Series Season 10, held at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. While the matchup drew significant attention due to Pereira's high-profile background, Sundell's performance proved sufficient for UFC President Dana White to extend a promotional offer. Despite initial reservations expressed regarding the fight's development, the result solidified Sundell's transition to the major leagues. The win concludes the final episode of the Contender Series' tenth season, marking a pivotal step forward in the winner's professional career. Sundell now joins the ranks of rising talent competing for a place in the organization's increasingly competitive strawweight division.
