Ulberg vs. Reyes Official as UFC Perth Faces Late Scratches, Weight Miss, Soft Sales

Illnesses plus a weigh-in miss trimmed the Perth lineup in fight week.

Overview

  • Carlos Ulberg (205) and Dominick Reyes (206) successfully made weight for the five-round light heavyweight headliner.
  • Heavyweight Justin Tafa was pulled during weigh-ins due to illness, and Oban Elliott’s welterweight bout with Jonathan Micallef was canceled earlier for the same reason.
  • The original co-main Junior Tafa vs. Ibo Aslan was scrapped after a Tafa injury, moving Jimmy Crute vs. Ivan Erslan into the co-feature slot.
  • Ramon Tavares missed the featherweight limit by one pound for his matchup with Jack Jenkins.
  • Local reports flagged discounted tickets and a roughly half-full arena, while UFC executive Dave Shaw emphasized a long-term commitment to Australia; the event streams on ESPN+ with local broadcast partners.
