Overview
- Carlos Prates finished Jack Della Maddalena by TKO at 3:17 of Round 3 on Saturday in Perth after a barrage that included a knee, head kick, and calf and leg kicks that produced multiple knockdowns.
- After the bout, Prates said he wants the winner of the rumored Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry title fight expected in August, which the UFC has not announced.
- Quillan Salkilld stopped Beneil Dariush by first‑round TKO at 3:29 in the co‑main event, extending his win streak and putting pressure on the veteran’s future plans.
- The UFC awarded Performance of the Night to Prates and Salkilld, while Brando Peričić vs. Shamil Gaziev earned Fight of the Night, capping a card with seven finishes and hefty bonus payouts.
- Elsewhere on the main card, Peričić knocked out Gaziev, Steve Erceg beat Tim Elliott by decision, and Louie Sutherland outpointed Tai Tuivasa, as Della Maddalena’s second straight loss further dented his standing at welterweight.
