Ulberg vs. Reyes Fight Breakdown
In what’s set to be a thrilling contest, don’t expect to see either fighter shoot for a takedown in this glorified kickboxing clash. Both Ulberg and Reyes have built successful MMA careers due to their superb striking skillsets and ability to inflict damage on the feet.
An incredibly even matchup, Ulberg and Reyes are also physically even, with both fighters standing at six-foot-four with 77-inch reaches. With similar fighting styles and near-identical builds, this matchup may come down to who can outwork and outsmart their opponent. One distinct difference between these combatants is their fighting stance, with Ulberg being an orthodox fighter, while Reyes fights out of the southpaw.
On the feet, Ulberg and Reyes stay active at all times, with both fighters residing in the top five of the UFC light heavyweight division in strikes landed per minute (SLPM), Ulberg leading the division with 6.82 SLPM, and Reyes with 5.58 SLPM. While Ulberg does typically outland Reyes in terms of strike volume, he does, however, take more damage from his opponents, having taken 4.21 strikes absorbed per minute (SAPM) compared to the 3.54 SAPM for Reyes.
Neither fighter likes to wrestle, with both averaging under one takedown attempt per 15 minutes of Octagon time.
With both fighters set to swing for the fences throughout the contest, expect heavy blows to be dealt out routinely in order to decide a victor in this title eliminator tilt.
Official Prediction: Ulberg to Win by Decision (+450)
It pains me to go against Reyes in his inspiring career resurgence, but all indications point toward the favourite, Ulberg, to pull out the victory. The more active, dynamic, and creative striker, Ulberg has more tools at his disposal to help him win this main event matchup.
With his lone UFC loss coming in his debut with the company, Ulberg has run through the competition since then, piling up four knockout victories, as well as notable wins against division mainstays such as former Light Heavyweight Champion, Jan Blachowicz and ex-title challenger Volkan Oezdemir.
Meanwhile, over the same time span since getting robbed by Jon Jones in their title fight back in 2020 (no, we won’t let it go), Reyes has struggled to maintain consistency, being knocked out three times, including against the aforementioned Blachowicz. While his three consecutive knockout wins shouldn’t be entirely discounted, they’ve all come against journeyman and aging veterans such as Anthony Smith and Nikita Krylov.
In this main event fight, I expect to see both fighters exercise caution in the early stages, feeling out their opponents and mitigating risk as they respect each other’s knockout power. With the fight likely to go into the Championship rounds, look for this to be where Ulberg shines, stepping on the gas and proving to the UFC world that he has title-contending upside.
Bank on Ulberg to cruise his way to a dominant decision victory over Reyes, notching you a juicy +450 payday as you cap off UFC Fight Night Perth with a sizeable bump to your bankroll. Additionally, hammer the over on total rounds at 2.5, as that will land you a juicy +115 payout before the fight even concludes.
