On September 28th, 2025, New Zealand fighter Carlos Ulberg made quick work of UFC light heavyweight contender Dominick Reyes, securing a first-round knockout victory at UFC Fight Night in Perth, Australia. Ulberg, who now holds a 13-1 MMA record, extended his winning streak to nine consecutive UFC fights with the impressive stoppage at the 4:27 mark of the opening round.

Following the fight, the 28-year-old Ulberg confirmed his plans to attend next Saturday's UFC 320 title rematch in Las Vegas between Magomed Ankalaev and former light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, declaring, "I'm coming for the belt."
The main card also featured several other notable results, including submission wins for Australian lightweight Tom Nolan, light heavyweight Jimmy Crute, and welterweight veteran Neil Magny. Featherweight Jack Jenkins of Australia also earned a unanimous decision victory over Ramon Taveras of the United States.
