"Carlos Ulberg has steadily been working his way up the 205lb division. Upon entering the UFC, he was more or less seen as one of "Adesanya's guys," but "Black Jag" has emerged as quite possibly the next UFC champion to come out of City Kickboxing. An eight-fight win streak with five finishes tends to spark that sort of talk, especially when that run includes an ex-champ like Jan Blachowicz."
"Dominick Reyes once found himself in a similar situation, and now back on a win streak, he's looking to jump past Ulberg potentially for a shot at the winner of Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira. The rest of the card? With Justin Tafa out, it is on the thin side, but perhaps it will be another one that punches up - though that may be of little solace to fans paying premium prices for a sub-premium line-up."
UFC Perth features a marquee light heavyweight bout between Carlos Ulberg and Dominick Reyes atop an otherwise light card. Carlos Ulberg has risen through the 205lb division with an eight-fight win streak and five finishes, including a victory over former champion Jan Blachowicz, and represents City Kickboxing. Dominick Reyes is on a win streak and aims to leap past Ulberg toward a potential shot at the winner of Magomed Ankalaev versus Alex Pereira. Justin Tafa withdrew, leaving the rest of the lineup thin, though multiple undercard fights remain scheduled at the weigh-ins.
