Uncrowned has UFC Perth results, live round-by-round updates, highlights and start time for the Carlos Ulberg vs. Dominick Reyes fight card on Saturday night at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. The surging Kiwi contender Ulberg will hope to secure his first shot at UFC gold by taking out the resurgent two-time title challenger Reyes when they meet in Ulberg’s first main event under the UFC banner.
Ulberg (12-1) entered the UFC five years ago through Dana White’s Contender Series. A power-punching light heavyweight prospect at the time, he was just 4-0 upon his arrival in the promotion, and suffered his lone career loss when he debuted opposite Kennedy Nzechukwu. Since then, it’s been all systems go for the City Kickboxing product, as he’s won eight straight and recently picked up his most significant win yet over former UFC champion Jan Blachowicz.

Reyes (15-4) has reemerged in UFC light heavyweight title contention after a disastrous fall from grace that began with his controversial decision loss to Jon Jones in 2020. Reyes’ first title opportunity was followed by his second against the aforementioned Blachowicz, which resulted in a second-round stoppage defeat. Reyes dropped subsequent bouts against Jiri Prochazka and Ryan Spann before getting back on track last year. He rides an impressive three-fight knockout streak into this pivotal main event.
In the co-main event, the light heavyweight division will remain the focus, as Australian fan-favorite Jimmy Crute looks to defend home soil against Ivan Erslan.
