Two exciting Welterweight finishers, Jack Congdon and Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani, will face off in the Main Event of Dana White’s Contender Series Season 9, Week 4. Lebosnoyani, 26, is 7-2 in his MMA career and has won two straight bouts since his last defeat. Meanwhile, Congdon has won three consecutive contests since his lone MMA loss and is 2-0 in 2025.
Here is my best bet for Jack Congdon vs. Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani taking place tonight on Dana White’s Contender Series.
Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani Round 1 (+125)
This is Lebosnoyani’s first fight since May 2024, and as he hasn’t been as active as Congdon has been. Lebosnoyani has competed in LFA since 2018, one of the premier MMA organizations for rising stars 2018. All seven of Congdon’s fights have taken place in Cage Titans Fighting Championship, a company based in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts.
Lebosnoyani is from Southern California and has grown up training with former UFC title challenger Brian Ortega and UFC Hall-of-Famer Royce Gracie. His father, Nono Lebosnoyani, is a well-known MMA coach and has had his son competing at a high level in martial arts from a young age.
Both fighters excel on the ground, combining for a total of seven submissions between them. At 6’2″, Congdon has a two-inch height advantage in this matchup. With two fighters who are all action, an exciting fight and finish is very possible in this contest.
Lebosnoyani is a massive -700 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, and -225 to win by KO/TKO/DQ or submission. With that being the case, getting Lebosnoyani to win in the first round at +125 is the best value play since seven of his victories have come in the first five minutes. Congdon is talented, but Lebosnoyani has more high-level experience, which should benefit him on DWCS.
