Overview

• The UFC announced Oban Elliott has withdrawn due to illness less than 48 hours before the event, and no short‑notice replacement will be sought for Jonathan Micallef.
• An earlier injury scrapped the planned Junior Tafa vs. Ibo Aslan co-main, elevating Jimmy Crute vs. Ivan Erslan to the secondary slot.
• Despite the cancellations, the light heavyweight main event between Carlos Ulberg and Dominick Reyes at Perth’s RAC Arena remains confirmed for Saturday.
• Local outlet 7 News Australia reported sluggish sales and discounted seats, while UFC executive David Shaw downplayed concerns during media day.
• Ulberg rides an eight-fight win streak and Reyes enters on three straight knockouts, with the winner expected to strengthen claims in a division that crowns its next champion at UFC 320 next week.
