Quentin Pasley, a 4-0 light heavyweight prospect, earned a UFC contract on Contender Series Season 10 after brutally finishing Arlind Berisha (5-1) with a series of elbows. UFC CEO Dana White praised the 24-year-old by drawing comparisons to Jon Jones post-fight. Christian Natividad, Martin Kozak, and Isaac Moreno also received UFC contracts from the evening's card.
Quentin Pasley punched his way into the UFC on Contender Series Season 10, finishing Arlind Berisha with a brutal elbow stoppage to earn a contract and some of the highest praise a prospect can receive.
The 24-year-old light heavyweight entered the night unbeaten at 4-0 and left it with not only a UFC deal but a Jon Jones comparison from CEO Dana White, who made the remarks in the post-fight evaluation. Drawing that name in the light heavyweight division carries unmistakable weight, and White's words immediately elevated Pasley's profile well beyond a standard Tuesday-night signing.
Berisha, who came in with a 5-1 record, was stopped by a series of elbows in what appeared to be a decisive and emphatic finish. It was the kind of performance the Contender Series was built to showcase — a prospect removing all doubt in a matter of moments.
Pasley was not the only fighter to earn a contract on the evening. Christian Natividad, Martin Kozak, and Isaac Moreno all impressed enough to receive UFC deals from the same card, making it a productive night for the organization's roster-building efforts.
Why it matters
- Pasley enters the UFC at 4-0 with significant momentum and rare promotional hype from White himself
- The light heavyweight division remains one of the UFC's most talent-rich, meaning Pasley will face stiff early tests
- Three additional signings from the same card signal a strong Season 10 class with depth across multiple divisions
- A Jones comparison sets expectations high and will intensify scrutiny on Pasley's first Octagon appearance
