Season 10 of Dana White’s Contender Series continues on Tuesday night, with the Week 2 action featuring a middleweight clash between Douglas Rodrigues and Trent Miller.
Rodrigues (6–1) has won five straight bouts — four by stoppage — capped by a second-round knockout of Gabriel Ramos to seize the vacant Future MMA title in March. Miller (8–3) returns to the DWCS stage after suffering a first-round knockout loss to Ryan Gandra in August 2025.
Rodrigues enters as a heavy -380 moneyline favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Miller is a +300 underdog.
Rodrigues vs. Miller Preview
Douglas Rodrigues
- 6–1 Overall
- 4–0 (T)KO
- 1–0 SUB
Douglas Rodrigues is eyeing another highlight-reel finish in the biggest opportunity of his career. “Blade” arrives in Dana White’s Contender Series riding a five-fight win streak, including four by knockout or TKO. The 27-year-old Brazilian boasts an elite striking base with devastating kicks, and he’s fresh off capturing 185-pound gold in regional promotion Future MMA with a second-round knockout of Gabriel Ramos earlier this year.
Trent Miller
- 8–3 Overall
- 6–1 (T)KO
- 1–2 SUB
Trent Miller failed to make a strong first impression on DWCS last year, getting stopped by knockout artist Ryan Gandra in the opening round. While he rebounded with a second-round finish on a regional circuit in January, “The Terminator” has dropped three of his last six professional bouts — all inside the distance. The Xtreme Couture product, 30, now has his hands full with a surging prospect on the hunt for a statement win.
Rodrigues vs. Miller Pick, Best Bet
This one shouldn’t take long. Douglas Rodrigues has a golden opportunity to punch his ticket to MMA’s flagship promotion against the beleaguered Trent Miller. “Blade” should slice up the hittable American en route to another stoppage win.
