UFC Fight Night Perth: Jack Della Maddalena vs. Carlos Prates, live results and analysis

Jack Della Maddalena makes his return to the Octagon for the primary time since he misplaced the UFC welterweight title to Islam Makhachev final November, the Australian set for battle with Brazilian Carlos Prates at UFC Fight Night Perth.

Della Maddalena was fully outclassed by Makhachev, the 29-year-old’s title reign lasting simply 118 days after he had taken the strap from Belal Muhammad earlier in 2025.

But again in his hometown, Della Maddalena might be assured he can bounce again in opposition to Prates at RAC Arena on Saturday night time [AEST, early Saturday morning ET].

Joining him on the principle card are fellow West Aussies Quillan Salkilld and Steve Ercegwho fights Beneil Dariush and Tim Elliot respectively.
