"Former welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena will square off against Carlos Prates in the evening's headliner at the RAC Arena on May 2 in Perth, Australia. Della Maddalena is coming off a lopsided five-round unanimous decision defeat to Islam Makhachev in his first title defense at UFC 322 this past November. That snapped an 18-fight professional winning streak for the Aussie, who claimed welterweight gold by outpointing Belal Muhammad at UFC 315."
"Prates has been victorious in six of seven Octagon appearances - with his lone defeat coming at the hands of Ian Garry in April 2025. "The Nightmare" has since rebounded to post back-to-back knockout victories over Geoff Neal and Leon Edwards. Prates has finished all six of his UFC triumphs via knockout."
