Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, for another season of my DWCS Previews! Season 7 was my first here on my new website after spending the previous two seasons covering for AllAccessMMA. We had a very successful season 7 going, 34-15 on my straight contender series fight picks! It was also a good season for the UFC roster’s growth, as forty-three out of Forty-Nine fighters who won received contracts to the big show! After taking some time away for season 8, we are back and ready to roll again with weekly previews for Season 9! We have another great season in store, and it all starts this Tuesday night with episode one, which features a full five-fight main card, full preview, and predictions below!
