Violence awaits “Down Under.”

No. 3-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Carlos Ulberg will headline his first UFC event against two-time former title challenger and No. 8-ranked Dominick Reyes on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at UFC Perth, inside RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.

Ulberg (12-1) boasts the longest active winning streak in the Light Heavyweight division with eight consecutive victories, putting a potential title shot on the line when he enters the Octagon later this year.

A mere three years ago, Dominick Reyes (15-4) endured a four-fight skid, with three brutal knockouts. Now, the man who nearly dethroned Jon Jones rides a three-fight winning streak, stopping Dustin Jacoby, Anthony Smith, and most recently Nikita Krylov at UFC 314 (watch highlights).

A decisive victory over Ulberg could propel Reyes to the forefront of title contention, cementing a remarkable redemption arc.

Here is what UFC Perth currently looks like:

Carlos Ulberg vs. Dominick Reyes
Navajo Stirling vs. Rodolfo Bellato
Loma Lookboonmee vs. Alexia Thainara
Colby Thicknesse vs. Josias Musasa
Doo-ho Choi vs. Daniel Santos
