Overview

• Carlos Ulberg stopped Dominick Reyes with a first-round knockout in the main event in Perth, halting Reyes’ recent three-fight surge at light heavyweight.
• Coverage characterizes Ulberg’s win as the signature result that could move him to the front of the title queue as the division awaits impending championship bouts.
• Jimmy Crute submitted Ivan Erslan in the first round in the co-main event, with both that finish and Ulberg’s knockout earning post-fight bonuses alongside Tom Nolan vs. Charlie Campbell.
• Neil Magny tapped Jake Matthews with a late d’arce choke, and Matthews was the lone Australian fighter to lose on a night Oceanic athletes went 10-1.
• Five of the six main card fights ended inside the distance, and matchmaking chatter points Reyes toward options like a Volkan Oezdemir rematch or the loser of Azamat Murzakanov vs. Aleksandar Rakic on Oct. 25.
