Dwyer eventually made his debut on October 4, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 54 where he faced Albert Tumenov.[6] Dwyer lost the fight knockout in the first round.

Dwyer faced William Macário on February 22, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 61.[7] Dwyer won the fight via knockout in the first round.[8] Subsequently, Dwyer earned a Performance of the Night bonus.[9]
