Dominick Reyes looks to continue his light heavyweight resurgence when he steps into the main event spotlight at UFC Perth for a high-stakes scrap against surging contender Carlos Ulberg.
Riding a three-fight win streak, Reyes could very well be one big win away from another crack at the division’s biggest prize. But to get there, he’ll have to go through Ulberg—a fighter who hasn’t lost in his last eight outings and has his sights set on scoring his own title opportunity.
