UFC Returns to Perth for Fight Night This September
The UFC has confirmed it will return to Perth with a Fight Night event scheduled for Sunday, September 28, at RAC Arena. The announcement follows Perth’s rise in the MMA world as the hometown of Australia’s latest UFC champion, Jack Della Maddalena, who recently claimed the welterweight title by defeating Belal Muhammad.
Fight details for the September card are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks. One of the headline bouts is anticipated to feature Della Maddalena facing off against former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. Makhachev vacated his 155-pound title with the intention of taking on the Australian champion later this year.
As Makhachev targets a return to the octagon in either October or November, the timeline suggests that if Della Maddalena defeats him, he would likely be defending his welterweight belt for a second time in early 2025—potentially at a UFC pay-per-view event back in Perth.

March 8 T-Mobil Arena Las Vegas
Jack Della vs. Leon Edwards
The UFC has officially announced a high-stakes welterweight clash between Jack Della Maddalena and former champion Leon “Rocky” Edwards as the main event for the UFC Fight Night scheduled on March 22. The bout, which will take place at the world famous O2 arena, is expected to deliver fireworks as both fighters vie for a potential shot at the welterweight title.
For Jack Della Maddalena, this fight is the biggest moment of his career so far. The Perth local has been on an absolute tear through the welterweight division, combining clinical striking with impeccable fight IQ. With one dominant performance after another, Jack has quickly become one of the most exciting contenders around, winning fans over with his aggressive yet pinpoint-accurate style.
On the flip side, you’ve got Leon Edwards, the former champ, looking to get back on top. Known for his technical skills and never-say-die attitude, Leon’s already proven he can hang with the best. After losing his belt in a tough fight, this showdown with Della Maddalena is his shot to remind everyone who he is and set up another run at the title.
What do you reckon will go down in this show down?
UFC 312
UFC 312 is shaping up to be an exciting event, with a highly anticipated rematch between Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland for the middleweight title. Fans can also look forward to a thrilling showdown between Weili Zhang and Tatiana Suarez, as they face off for the women’s strawweight championship. The event trailer teases the intense rivalry between du Plessis and Strickland, while also building up the clash between Zhang and Suarez for the title.
There’s a lot up in the air heading into the new year, so let’s jump right in—here are five bold predictions for 2025:
Islam Makhachev to Fight Renato Moicano on UFC 311 Fight Card After Tsarukyan Injury
UFC NEWS – The UFC will return to Australian shores in 2025 with Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena announced to host UFC 312 on Sunday 9 February.
The octagon has been a smash hit in Australia in recent times with UFC 305 staged in Perth earlier this year, while Sydney held UFC 293 in September last year which was a huge success with the card headlined by Sean Strickland claiming the Middleweight championship from Israel Adesanya.
Dricus Du Plessis finishes 2025 as the middleweight champ
Dricus Du Plessis keeps proving people wrong. Despite being undefeated in the UFC, winning the middleweight title, and defending it against one of the greatest in the division, Israel Adesanya, he still doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
Du Plessis has been on an incredible run, and if he can hold on to the 185-pound belt for another year, it could cement his legacy.
While many hoped for a showdown with Khamzat Chimaev, Du Plessis is set to rematch Sean Strickland instead. The two will headline UFC 312 on February 8 in Sydney.
Strickland, never one to shy away from controversy, gave Du Plessis his toughest fight yet in a razor-close split decision at UFC 297. Strickland still believes he won that fight and will come into the rematch full of confidence.
If Du Plessis can get past Strickland again, a clash with Chimaev seems inevitable. Chimaev, often seen as the heir apparent to the middleweight throne, would likely enter as the favorite. If that fight happens in 2025 and Du Plessis still ends the year as champ, it’ll be nothing short of a massive upset.
