The light heavyweight title is on the line at UFC 320 next week, but the UFC Perth main event could produce a surprising No. 1 contender.<\/p>\n
Carlos Ulberg takes on Dominick Reyes on Saturday and while the two have taken vastly different paths to get to this spot, what they have in common are a string of results that have pushed them towards title contention. Will the surging Ulberg make it nine straight wins to force the matchmakers to consider a fresh challenger, or will the resurgent Dominick Reyes continue his storybook march towards a second championship opportunity?<\/p>\n
Ahead of Saturday\u2019s Fight Night event at RAC Arena, MMA Fighting\u2019s Alexander K. Lee, Jed Meshew, and E. Casey Leydon figure out where Ulberg and Reyes fit in the picture with Magomed Ankalaev, Alex Pereira, Jiri Prochazka, and Khalil Rountree all in action soon, plus what to make of a 13-fight card that has struggled to sell tickets and to capture the attention of fans. Additionally, the crew debates whether Neil Magny is a future Hall of Fame inductee, who has the chance to steal the show, and we take listener questions and comments.<\/p>\n
