Guilherme Uriel believes he made a mistake by not using his jiu-jitsu in his first Dana White’s Contender Series appearance last year.

Uriel (8-2) made his second DWCS appearance on Aug. 25 in a heavyweight matchup against Mario Piazzon in Week 3 of Season 10. Uriel made Piazzon tap to a standing guillotine in 50 seconds to earn an Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.

He believes he shouldn’t have abandoned his jiu-jitsu against Hokit.

“One of the things from last time, it was my sin not to use my jiu-jitsu,” Uriel said in his post-fight interview. “And with all due respect to Galpao…
