Three more matchups featuring Australian fighters have been added to the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Perth, Australia.
A welterweight bout featuring Jake Matthews and American Neil Magny is expected to take place on the Sept. 27 main card.
Matthews and Magny are two of the most experienced 170-pound fighters on the UFC roster. Matthews has won three in a row and is coming off a 69-second submission of Chidi Njokuani in July. The Australian is already an 11-year and 22-fight UFC veteran despite being just 31 years old. The only loss Matthews has in his five most recent outings was a decision to undefeated top-10 contender Michael Morales.
Meanwhile, Magny holds the record for most total welterweight appearances in UFC history with 35 as well as most wins with 23. The 38-year-old snapped a two-fight skid in early August with a technical knockout win over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos.
Also at welterweight, Jonathan Micallef gets a home matchup against Welshman Oban Elliott.
Micallef made good on his UFC debut earlier this year after earning a contract through the Contenders Series in 2024. The 26-year-old picked up a unanimous decision win over Kevin Jousset in February at UFC 312 in Sydney.
Elliott had an eight-fight winning streak snapped in a June decision loss to Seok Hyeon Ko.
Featherweights Jack Jenkins and Ramon Taveras will both be looking to return to the win column when they meet in a 145-pound contest.
Victoria’s Jenkins was submitted by Gabriel Santos at UFC 312 earlier this year and Florida’s Tavares dropped a decision to Davey Grant in December in his most recent outing.
There are currently 14 matchups officially scheduled for UFC Perth, which is headlined by Carlos Ulberg vs. Dominick Reyes, and recently Dana White announced he would give middleweight Cam Rowston from Sydney a spot on the card after impressing earlier this month on Week 2 of the Contenders Series.
