Tom Nolan<\/a> is heading back to his home country to compete in the UFC\u2019s octagon.<\/p>\n

Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion\u2019s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a lightweight bout between Nolan and Evan Elder<\/a> is set for UFC Perth. The event takes place Sept. 27 at RAC Arena in the Western Australian capital.<\/p>\n

Nolan rides an impressive three-fight win streak into the bout, including a decision win against Viacheslav Borshchev<\/a> at UFC 312<\/a> in February. The Contender Series contract winner and standout has bounced back from a knockout loss in his UFC debut to Nikolas Motta<\/a> to kick off his current run, which also includes a first-round TKO win over Victor Martinez<\/a> in his first promotional victory. <\/p>\n

Elder also brings a three-fight win streak into the 155-pound bout. After losing his first two UFC contests, \u201cThe Phenom\u201d picked up a submission victory over Darrius Flowers<\/a>, along with a pair of decision wins against Gauge Young<\/a> and Genaro Valdez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UFC Perth is headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Carlos Ulberg<\/a> and past two-time title challenger Dominick Reyes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
