The highly anticipated clash between the top ten contenders will see No.3 ranked UFC light heavyweight, New Zealand’s Carlos “Black Jag” Ulberg (12-1-0, fighting out of Auckland, New Zealand) take on No.8, former title contender Dominick “The Devastaor” Reyes (15-4-0, fighting out of California, USA).
Fighting out of the esteemed City Kickboxing in Auckland, New Zealand, Ulberg first stepped into the Octagon on Dana White’s Contender Series in November 2020. With an impressive TKO finish, Ulberg won a contract and has since gone on to tear through the light heavyweight division with impressive wins over Alonzo Menifield, Volkan Oezdemir and former champion, Jan Blachowicz. Come September 28, Ulberg hopes a win will take him one step closer to the gold strap.
UFC veteran, Reyes entered the UFC in 2017 and remained undefeated until facing the one-and-only Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight championship at UFC® 247: JONES vs. REYES in February 2020. Jones vacated the belt later that year and Reyes was once again called up for his shot at the title. Reyes lost to former champion Jan Blachowicz, but more recently he has claimed impressive TKO wins over Dustin Jacoby, Anthony Smith and Nikita Krylov. A victory over Ulberg will have him in title contention yet again.
Other bouts on the card include:
- Victorian light heavyweight, Jimmy Crute (13-4-2-, fighting out of Melbourne, Australia) is set to have a quick turn around from his impressive submission win at UFC 318. Crute will take on Ivan Erslan (14-5-0, fighting out of Obrovac, Croatia)
- Queenslander, Junior “The Juggernaut” Tafa (6-4-0, fighting out of Brisbane, Australia) will face Ibo “The Last Ottoman” Aslan (14-3-0, fighting out of Istanbul, Turkey).

- UFC’s newest signing and first female athlete from New Zealand, Michelle “The Wild One” Montague (6-0-0, fighting out Auckland, New Zealand) taking on former Contender Series successor Luana “Dread” Carolina (11-4-0, fighting out of Sao Paulo, Brazil) in a 3-round women’s bantamweight fight
