Former Bellator and LFA middleweight Theo Haig returned to Dana White’s Contender Series on Tuesday, capping off Week 7 of Season 10 against fellow Bellator alum Norbert Novenyi Jr.
Haig’s last DWCS appearance represented the lone loss of his professional career. Novenyi, son of Olympic wrestler Norbert Novenyi Sr., had won three straight, with a record of 6-1 during his Bellator MMA stint from 2018 to 2024. That included a win over Oktagon MMA double-champ Will Fleury.
Also in action on Tuesday, Damian Piwowarczyk, a longtime KSW veteran who had competed in the Polish promotion’s light heavyweight tournament, making it to the final and competing for the company’s 205lb title. He kicked off the event against the undefeated Emilio Quissua.
