Prediction, pick for Bilal Hasan vs. Mridul Saikia at DWCS Season 10, Week 1

Updated:

By: Ryan Wohl

Two Flyweight prospects, Bilal Hasan and Mridul Saikia, face off in a three-round contest on Season 10, Week 1 of Dana White’s Contender Series. This is the third fight on the card, which is headlined by Anthony Wint vs. Matt Adams. Dana White’s Contender Series starts at 7:00 p.m. ET and airs on Paramount+.

Check out my best bet below for Bilal Hasan vs. Mridul Saikia at tonight’s edition of Dana White’s Contender Series.

Bilal Hasan to Win by KO/TKO/DQ in Round 1 (-300)

Hasan has an undefeated record of 8-0 with six knockouts and one submission. Including his amateur career, Hasan is 14-0 with 10 finishes, which is impressive. Knockout power at 125 pounds is hard to come by, but Hasan has a ton of it. He has won six of his previous seven fights by knockout. Saikia comes from India and is 9-1 with nine finishes. In May 2025, Saikia competed on the Road to UFC, where he lost by knockout to Agulali. After that, Saikia got back in the win column in January. 

Bilal Hasan is the largest favorite on this week’s DWCS card as he is -3600 with Saikia being a +1500 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. The over/under for this contest is 1.5 rounds, with the under being -580 and the over being +380. Hasan is also -550 to win this fight by KO/TKO/DQ. 

Although both fighters are the same height (5’7″), Hasan has a two-inch reach advantage (70″ vs. 68″). With Hasan being such a big favorite, I’m taking him to win this contest by first-round knockout at -300. With Hasan’s aggressive nature and tremendous knockout power, he will likely be able to break Saikia down early in this contest. Three of Hasan’s previous seven victories have come in the first round, including his last win.
