Main event: Dominick Reyes
- Record: 15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC
- Opponent: Carlos Ulberg (12-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC)
- Division: Light heavyweight
- Key wins: Nikita Krylov, Anthony Smith, Dustin Jacoby, Chris Weidman, Volkan Oezdemir, Ovince St. Preux, Jared Cannonier
- Misc.: Reyes has put the four-fight skid that started with his title loss to Jon Jones – let’s face it: He won that fight. In the past 15 months, he’s got stoppage wins over Jacoby, ex-title challenger Smith and Krylov. A win over Ulberg could put him back in the title conversation for the first time in nearly six years.
Main event: Carlos Ulberg
- Record: 12-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC
- Opponent: Dominick Reyes (15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC)
- Division: Light heavyweight
- Key wins: Jan Blachowicz, Volkan Oezdemir, Alonzo Menifield, Ihor Potieria
- Misc.: The 34-year-old New Zealander lost his promotional debut in 2021, but since then has rattled off eight straight wins – including consecutive decisions over former title challenger Oezdemir and ex-champ Blachowicz.
Co-main event: Jack Jenkins
- Record: 13-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC
- Opponent: Ramon Tavares (10-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC)
- Division: Featherweight
- Key wins: Herbert Burns, Jamall Emmers
- Misc.: 31-year-old Australian will be looking for a return to the win column on his home turf after a submission loss to Gabriel Santos in February.
Co-main event: Ramon Tavares
- Record: 10-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC
- Opponent: Jack Jenkins (13-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC)
- Division: Featherweight
- Key wins: Serhiy Sidey, Charles Bennett
- Misc.: Tavares needed two DWCS fights to get to the UFC. He missed weight in his first attempt in 2023 and lost the fight. Then he got in with a win a month later, but missed weight for his UFC debut. This past December, he was outworked by Davey Grant, so he’ll be after a return to the win column.
UFC debut: Louie Sutherland
- Record: 10-3
- Opponent: Justin Tafa (7-5 MMA, 4-5 UFC)
- Division: Heavyweight
- Misc.: The hulking “Vanilla Gorilla” makes his way to the UFC from England with four straight wins on the heels of a loss in his lone Bellator fight.
UFC debut: Cam Rowston
- Record: 12-3
- Opponent: Andre Petroski (13-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC)
- Division: Middleweight
- Misc.: It took Rowston two appearances on DWCS to get to the UFC, but he’s there now after an August first-round knockout punched his ticket.
UFC debut: Michelle Montague
- Record: 6-0
- Opponent: Luana Carolina (11-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC)
- Division: Women’s bantamweight
- Misc.: New Zealand-based prospect has been a perfect 6-0, including 5-0 in PFL and Bellator, with all six wins by rear-naked choke.
UFC debut: Elisha Ellison
- Record: 5-1
- Opponent: Brando Pericic (4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC)
- Division: Heavyweight
- Misc.: The 28-year-old American has all five of his wins by first-round stoppage. Instead of a DWCS fight to get into the UFC, he goes straight to the show with a curtain-jerker.
UFC debut: Brando Pericic
- Record: 4-1
- Opponent: Elisha Ellison (5-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC)
- Division: Heavyweight
- Misc.: 31-year-old Australian was supposed to fight Ellison on DWCS in August, but their fight was moved to the Perth card. All four of his pro wins are first-round stoppages.
