Bisping Switches Pick to Dominick Reyes for UFC Perth Main Event

He frames the matchup as a near coin flip with the winner poised for a light heavyweight title shot.

Overview

  • Dominick Reyes and Carlos Ulberg headline Saturday’s UFC Fight Night at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.
  • Michael Bisping reversed an initial lean toward Ulberg and ultimately picked Reyes after wavering on his YouTube breakdown.
  • Bisping cites Reyes’ heavier hands, wrestling edge and top-tier experience, contrasting Ulberg’s height, speed and slick City Kickboxing striking.
  • He says the winner is well positioned to challenge for the 205-pound belt next, underscoring the fight’s stakes.
  • The light heavyweight picture tightens with Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev for the title at UFC 320 one week later.
