Nick
Galanti worked with a
Dana White’s Contender Series alum ahead of his appearance on
the show.

Galanti (8-1) opened the action on
Week 3 of DWCS 2026 in a middleweight clash against Carlos
Petruzzella (15-2). While Galanti is known for his wrestling,
he floored Petruzzella with a right hook and finished him with
ground-and-pound in just 35 seconds.

Galanti later revealed that he has been working with former

Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Karl
Roberson to develop his striking. While he originally hoped for
a head-kick knockout, he is just as happy to have earned a UFC
contract with a right hook.

“Everyone says I’m just a grappler, but I have been working with my
guy Karl Roberson, UFC vet, Glory vet; he had one of the fastest
knockouts,” Galanti said in his post-fight interview. “The whole
time I was calling that right hook. I love that right hook in open
stances. I was hoping for a head-kick knockout, but I think it got
hooked up.”

Roberson had earned his UFC contract with a 15-second knockout of
Ryan
Spann in the first season of DWCS in 2017. Galanti’s teammate
Luke
Fernandez, who also trains with Roberson, scored the fastest
knockout in last season of DWCS in 15 seconds as well.
