Anthony Wint has put the Ultimate Fighting Championship boss on notice after his win on Dana White’s Contender Series.
Wint (7-0) took on Matthew Adams in the main event of DWCS 2026: Week 1. He took hardly over half a minute to reverse a takedown and land vicious ground-and-pound to secure a finish. “Bow Down” subsequently earned a UFC contract, which he wants to capitalize on immediately.
Wint later revealed that he has warned Dana White that he’s going to stay in the UFC CEO’s house until he has his first fight booked in the promotion. The former New York Jets linebacker says MMA fights are easy work for him after analyzing plays in 40 seconds in his football career.
“They don’t pay me by the hour,” Wint said in his post-fight interview. “I told Dana he got two options: I’m not going home – Either he finds me a fight, or I stay at Dana’s house… I played football my whole life, linebacker. I’m used to having 11 people against me and then dissect a whole play in 40 seconds. Now I just got to dissect a man in three rounds, so it’s easy work.”
Wint has finished six of his seven pro wins so far and is currently on a three-fight streak of first-round finishes. He notably called for a fight at the upcoming numbered event in Philadelphia, UFC 330, further reflecting how he wants to stay active inside the Octagon. At the post-fight presser, White indicated that the promotion will look to add Wint to the UFC Sacramento card scheduled for Aug. 22.
