Kaik
Brito had some tricks up his sleeve in his fight against
Namo
Fazil.
Brito (20-6) took on a surging Fazil in a welterweight matchup in
the main event of
Week 2 of
Dana White’s Contender Series 2026. While Brito looked
dangerous early in the fight, Fazil’s pressure put him on the back
foot as the bout progressed.

However, Brito shut Fazil’s lights off with a vicious right hand
early in the third round to earn an
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract. He notably planned to
pull off the finish right in front of UFC CEO Dana
White.

contract
Brito knows that it looked like he was leaving everything in the
Octagon in the back-and-forth bout. However, the Brazilian claims
he was waiting for the right moment.
In the final round, when his back was against the cage, Brito
noticed he was fighting close to White. That’s when he decided to
launch the missile of a right hand that flattened Fazil. He also
says he is ready to make his UFC debut as soon as possible.
“I move different,” Brito said in the post-fight interview. “I cut
angles in a completely different way. And throughout the fight, it
looked like I was going for it all. Believe me, I was saving some
things; I knew I was gonna need it at the end. And I saw Dana right
there, I thought, ‘I’m gonna do this right in front of the boss.
He’s gonna see it.’ I’m gonna be ready… I want to fight as soon as
possible.”
Brito came up short against Oban
Elliott in his first DWCS opportunity in 2023. He then went 3-1
on the regional circuit, finishing all of those wins to earn
another shot at a UFC contract.
