"UFC Perth, 2025 edition, was never a great card on paper, but it has been besieged by injury and fight cancellations on top of that. Both Tafa brothers, Justin and Junior, have withdrawn from the card, with Justin Tafa making his exit on weigh-in day. During Fight Week, Oban Elliott was forced to withdraw as well. Earlier on, Doo-Ho Choi was forced out of the event."
"Our picks are in for the UFC Perth main card, and here's how we see it playing out. Writer / Fight Nolan vs. Campbell Matthews vs. Magny Jenkins vs. Taveras Crute vs. Erslan Ulberg vs. Reyes Jimmy Crute, Jake Matthews, and Jack Jenkins were unanimous selections among our team, while the main event is a little more even, with Carlos Ulberg a slight favorite. Still, this one is coming down to a pick 'em."
UFC Perth 2025 has suffered multiple withdrawals and injuries, significantly weakening the fight card. Both Justin and Junior Tafa withdrew, with Justin leaving on weigh-in day; Oban Elliott and Doo-Ho Choi also pulled out during Fight Week. The card's depth was reduced, leaving a co-main of Jimmy Crute against 0-2 Ivan Erslan that appears mismatched. The headliner features Carlos Ulberg, coming off an eight-fight win streak including Jan Blachowicz, versus Dominick Reyes, who recovered from a four-fight skid to record three recent wins. A victory over Ulberg could position Reyes as the next light heavyweight title challenger. Picks favor Crute, Matthews, and Jenkins.
