The UFC is hard at work filling up its upcoming international slate of Fight Nights.<\/p>\n

The promotion just announced five new fights — three for UFC Perth on September 27th and and two for UFC Vancouver on October 18th.<\/p>\n

For the UFC Fight Night in Australia, Melbourne fighter Jake Matthews puts his three fight win streak on the line against Neil Magny, who bounced back from a 1-2 record in 2024 to beat Elizeu Zaleski by TKO<\/a> in August. Will this fast turnaround get him back into the mix at welterweight?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Welsh Gangster\u201d Oban Elliott looks to bounce back from a disappointing decision loss to Seok Hyeon Ko in June when he takes on Aussie fighter Jonathan Micallef, who entered the UFC via Contender Series and is 1-0 with the promotion.<\/p>\n

Also added to the card: a clash between featherweights Jack Jenkins and Ramon Taveras. The UFC Perth card is headlined by a light heavyweight scrap between Carlos Ulberg and Dominick Reyes.<\/p>\n

For UFC Vancouver, Canadian Charles \u201cAir\u201d Jourdain is set to fight U.K. fighter Davey Grant. Kyle Prepolec will look to bounce back from a late replacement<\/a> loss to Benoit Saint Denis against Drew Dober, who is on a 1-4 skid but always brings the heat.<\/p>\n

UFC Vancouver is headlined by a middleweight contender match between Reinier de Ridder and Anthony Hernandez, plus a showcase bout for Great Canadian Hope Mike Malott, who hopes to extend his win streak to three fights against Kevin Holland, who is 2-2 in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UFC is hard at work filling up its upcoming international slate of Fight Nights.
