Mike Breeden vs. Anthony Romero in the works for Dana White's Contender Series on Aug. 25

A fight between two more UFC hopefuls is in the works for Dana White’s Contender Series, Season 4.

The promotion is targeting an Aug. 25 matchup between lightweight prospects Mike Breeden and Anthony Romero for the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Multiple people with knowledge of the situation recently confirmed the targeted booking to MMA Junkie. They asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. The fight was first reported by MMA Fighting.

Breeden (8-2 MMA) is currently riding a three-fight winning streak – all by TKO. In his most recent outing at LFA 77 in September 2019, Breeden added a sensational flying knee knockout to his highlight reel against Brandon Jenkins.

Romero (7-0 MMA) is only 23 years old but had already made a mark in the KOTC promotion prior to his DWCS offer. In seven professional wins, Romero has earned three stoppage victories including two knockouts and a submission.

DWCS, Season 4 will kick off Aug. 4 and expected to run for 10 episodes, with the season concluding on Oct. 6.
