UFC Perth Goes On With Ulberg vs. Reyes After Late Scratches

The RAC Arena lineup is trimmed to roughly a dozen fights after weigh-in day withdrawals, with U.S. viewing on ESPN streaming.

Overview

  • The card takes place at RAC Arena in Perth with the main card starting at 10 p.m. ET Saturday in the U.S. and 10 a.m. AWST Sunday locally.
  • U.S. fans can stream the prelims and main card on ESPN+ or through the ESPN All In One service.
  • Multiple withdrawals reduced the event to 12 bouts, with both Tafa brothers off the card and Justin Tafa vs. Louie Sutherland canceled on weigh-in day after Tafa was taken to hospital.
  • Jimmy Crute vs. Ivan Erslan remains the co-main event, keeping a second light heavyweight matchup on the bill.
  • The Ulberg–Reyes headliner carries implications for the light heavyweight rankings, as coverage also notes criticism of the weakened lineup and reports of soft ticket sales.
