UFC has returned to Perth for the fourth time in their history. This time, however, the promotion has made its Fight Night debut in the Western Australian city. As the main card is yet to begin, with Carlos Ulberg and Dominick Reyes still set to collide, the prelims have already kicked off. There, one fight, in particular, ended with a bizarre request that left the referee stunned.
Alexander Volkanovski ’s teammate Colby Thicknesse faced Congolese fighter Josias Musasa in the featured prelim of UFC Fight Night Perth. Many expected the fight to swing in Colby’s direction, but it turned out to be highly competitive, with Musasa even making a case to take the second round. However, it was the third round that truly became interesting.
