UFC Fight Night: Carlos Ulberg vs. Dominick Reyes (aka UFC Perth) took place on Saturday, September 27, and MMA News has you covered with all the action!
After a weekend off following the third annual Noche UFC event, the UFC returns to Australia, touching down in the city of Perth for the fourth time -- and the first time a UFC Fight Night card is being held at the RAC Arena.
In the main event, Carlos Ulberg made his case for the next light heavyweight title shot after putting away former title challenger Dominick Reyes. After a slow start to the round, Ulberg landed a strong one-two that knocked Reyes out cold and proclaimed he'd be in the crowd at next week's UFC 320 with an up-close seat to watch Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira 2.
The co-main event saw Jimmy Crute pull off a first-round submission of Ivan Erslan. After weathering some early power shots thrown by Erslan, Crute managed to get a hold of Erslan and brought the fight to the ground, locking up a tight choke to score the submission win.
The main card also featured Jack Jenkins scoring a decision over Ramon Taveras, a controversial win by Neil Magny over Jake Matthews, and Tom Nolan pulling off a comeback, first-round submission of Charlie Campbell.
