UFC Perth: Jack Della Maddalena vs. Carlos Prates Free Live Results & Highlights

The UFC returns to the Perth, Western Australia, tomorrow for a UFC Fight Night card headlined by a huge matchup for the welterweight division.
The main event will see former UFC Welterweight Champion Jack Della Maddalena return for the first time since losing his title to Islam Makhachev when he takes on Carlos Prates, who is currently the division’s #5 ranked contender following a pair of knockout-wins over Geoff Neal and Leon Edwards.
The night’s co-main event could be a star-making performance for one of Perth’s own, as Quillan Salkilld will try to extend an unbeaten start to his UFC career and break into the lightweight rankings when he faces divisional mainstay Beneil Dariush.

The UFC Perth main card also includes a major matchup for the flyweight division, as Tim Elliott will try to bring his winning run to three fights when he meets fellow former title challenger Steve Erceg.

Ollie Schmid also looks to score a major upset against the undefeated Marwan Rahiki after accepting the call to make his UFC debut on less than a week’s notice. Shamil Gaziev will also attempt to defend his spot in the heavyweight rankings against Brando Peričić, and the main card opener will see Tai Tuivasa try to snap his six-fight skid against short-notice replacement opponent Louie Sutherland.

The prelims also feature plenty of interesting matchups, including a featured prelim bout that will see Cam Rowston and Robert Bryczek throw down in a middleweight clash that looks unlikely to make it to the judges’ scorecards.
Gerald Meerschaert was the only fighter to miss weight ahead of the event. His fight with Jacob Malkoun will proceed as scheduled, and he will forfeit 30% of his fight purse to Malkoun.

The prelim action for UFC Perth is set to kick off at 4:00 a.m ET, so be sure to check back here for live results and highlights from every fight once the card starts.
