(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Watch out, Flyweights; there is a new problem coming. Former CFFC Flyweight champion Bilal Hasan more than likely punched his ticket to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) when he smoked India’s Mridul Saikia in the first round tonight (Tues., Aug. 11, 2026) during Week 1 of season 10 of Contender Series inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was quick. Hasan came out throwing side kicks before switching to a heavy low kick. Saikia then threw a lazy calf kick, and Hasan immediately made him pay, cracking him with a counter right hand that planted the Indian fighter. Hasan pounced with follow-up punches, and the referee quickly jumped in to stop the fight at just 45 seconds. Then, Hasan hit the moonwalk afterward, and it was slick.

The 25-year-old was the defending CFFC Flyweight champion before getting the call to Contender Series, where he defended his title three times. He also owns an 88 percent finish rate, with seven knockouts and one submission. Hopefully, Hasan can turn around and make his UFC debut quickly. Because after that performance, the Flyweight division officially has another problem. For more Contender Series news and notes, be sure to hit up our comprehensive archive right here.
