Ilias Bulaid VS Erick Visconde

Erick Visconde defeated Ilias Bulaid by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) in the featherweight featured bout of Dana White's Contender Series Season 10, Week 10 in Las Vegas on October 13, 2026. Visconde controlled all three rounds with consistent wrestling, repeatedly taking Bulaid down and securing back control — threatening a rear-naked choke in round one and an arm-triangle in round two, though Bulaid survived both attempts. Bulaid, an unbeaten kickboxing standout entering at 9-0, was unable to impose his striking game and found his best moments on body and leg kicks between takedowns. Round three was interrupted by a groin-kick timeout and drew boos from the crowd for its slow pace, before Visconde sealed the frame with a late takedown. The bout had been rescheduled from Week 8 after Bulaid withdrew due to illness.

Former Enfusion kickboxing champion and K-1 World Grand Prix finalist Ilias Bulaid (9-0) arrives at DWCS with one of the most striking-heavy backgrounds in recent contender series history, facing Brazilian featherweight veteran Erick Visconde (17-3), who has finished 12 of his 17 wins split evenly between knockouts and submissions. Bulaid's 25-fight kickboxing record translated into five TKOs in nine MMA bouts; Visconde's LFA momentum and six submission finishes give him a credible path to flipping the script.
