An all-ranked lightweight bout is set to headline UFC's latest event down under.
Quillan Salkilld will fight Benoit Saint Denis in the main event at UFC Fight Night in Sydney on Feb. 6, the promotion announced Tuesday.
The No. 6-ranked lightweight contender, Salkilld, has been gaining momentum in the octagan, having won six straight fights in the UFC and is coming off four consecutive finishes.
A product of Perth, Australia, Salkilld owns a 13-1-0 record in MMA action.
Saint Denis, meanwhile, will return to Australia after defeating Dan Hooker by TKO at UFC 325 in Sydney in January 2025.
The 30-year-old Frenchman lost his most recent fight — to Paddy Pimblett by submission in July — but remains ranked No. 7 in the lightweight division and had won his four previous bouts.
Saint Denis owns a 17-4 MMA record and a 9-4 UFC mark.
No other fights have yet to be announced for the Fight Night in Sydney.
