It's the fourth time the city will host a UFC event, but it will be the first time the city will receive a UFC Fight Night, rather than a pay-per-view event.

Perth previously staged UFC 221 in February of 2018, UFC 284 in February of 2023 and UFC 305 in August of 2024.

No bouts have been revealed, though numerous UFC fighters hail from Australia, including featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena.
