UFC Announces Perth Light Heavyweight Main Event Ulberg vs Reyes

The UFC has announced a light heavyweight main event for its return to Perth, Australia, featuring Dominick Reyes and Carlos Ulberg on September 27-28. Reyes, a former title challenger who recently ended a losing streak with three consecutive knockout wins, will face Ulberg, who is riding an eight-fight UFC winning streak and is ranked third in the division. Ulberg's recent victories include decision wins over former champions Jan Blachowicz and Volkan Oezdemir, while Reyes is looking to continue his resurgence following a tough period that included multiple knockout losses. The bout is seen as pivotal for positioning either fighter for a potential title shot, especially with a title rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira scheduled shortly after UFC Perth. The matchup highlights two of the division’s most dangerous strikers and is expected to be a major draw for the Perth card. Additional fights for the event will be announced in the coming weeks.
