In the final episode of Dana White’s Contender Series Season 10 held at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Smilla Sundell faced off against Aline Pereira in a women's bantamweight bout. Sundell controlled the pace of the contest from the opening round with consistent forward movement and a high volume of strikes.

While Aline Pereira successfully landed several check left hooks and lead jabs, she struggled to maintain consistent momentum or diversify her offensive output. After three rounds, the judges awarded the victory to Sundell. Following the performance, Sundell was granted a contract to join the UFC roster, providing a new addition to the women's bantamweight division.
