Overview
- UFC Perth streams Saturday on Paramount+ from RAC Arena in Western Australia, with the main card slated for 7 a.m. ET and prelims at 4 a.m. ET.
- Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Prates shared a tense post–press conference staredown on Thursday that ended when security stepped in to separate them.
- Betting lines are tight and have leaned toward Prates in recent days, with shops citing his knockout run as the reason for the shift.
- The co-main pairs Beneil Dariush with hometown prospect Quillan Salkilld, and Dariush drew concern this week after he appeared with a swollen right eye that he said has recurred in training.
- Della Maddalena returns for the first time since a November loss to Islam Makhachev, while Prates is promising another knockout and says a win should earn him a title shot, which remains unconfirmed.
