Back in Perth for the third consecutive year and the first Fight Night event at RAC Arena, the preliminary card set the stage for what should be an action-packed main card, with a trio of newcomers opening their UFC careers with victories and fighters from the ANZAC region showing out.
Alexia Thainara opened the show with a clean decision win over Loma Lookboonmee that should elevate her into the rankings next week before debutants Brando Perisic and Michelle Montague earned consecutive victories, the former by first-round knockout and the latter with a dominant decision win. Australian veteran Jamie Mullarkey kept the ANZACs perfect for the night by holding on to defeat Rolando Bedoya, while Cam Rowston followed up with a first-round stoppage win over veteran Andre Petroski.
And in the final bout of the prelims, City Kickboxing’s Navajo Stirling edged out fellow Dana White’s Contender Series grad Rodolfo Bellato to close out a tremendous early slate for competitors from Australia and New Zealand to start the night.

Navajo Stirling Post-Fight Interview | UFC Perth
/
The light heavyweight DWCS grads ran close to level in the first, with Stirling seeming to get the better of things ever so slightly by upping his aggression and output in the waning moments of the round. He used a deft trip to put Bellato on the canvas early in the second, controlling and working from top position before the Brazilian was able to work to his feet and have a little success. In the third, Bellato was the aggressor, but Stirling stood his ground, neither man landing anything of great consequence before the final horn sounded.
When the scorecards were gathered and tallied, it was Stirling that came out ahead, advancing to 8-0 overall with his third consecutive UFC victory. This was a solid building block victory for the 27-year-old CKB man, who continues to make progress in his development and keep working forward in the light heavyweight ranks.

Cameron Rowston Makes Statement Debut With TKO Victory | UFC Perth
/
A short left hook from Rowston as Petroski looked to crash forward sent the former Ultimate Fighter contestant to the canvas, giving the City Kickboxing man the opportunity to follow him to the ground and swarm. While Petroski tried diligently to cover up and stay safe, Rowston did a good job to stay on him, find a home for some quality shots and pund out the finish.

Cam Rowston Post-Fight Interview | UFC Perth
/
Just an outstanding debut for Rowston, who paid tribute to his teammate and fellow middleweight, former champ Israel Adesanya in his post-fight interview with Paul Felder. That’s now five straight for the 30-year-old, and two victories for members of the DWCS Class of ’25 already.
Jamie Mullarkey defeats Rolando Bedoya by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
After more than a year way from the Octagon and two-years removed from his last victory, Jamie Mullarkey returned to action and the win column on Saturday, getting the better of things early before hanging on down the stretch against a game Rolando Bedoya.
“The Hooligan” mixed up his approach well in the first, using his hands to set up his wrestling and controlling things in the grappling exchanges. He was a little less effective in the second, but Bedoya was unable to land anything of great substance either, before the Peruvian tried diligently to rally and chase down a finish in the third, lumping up Mullarkey, but failing to dispatch him before the final horn.
All three judges scored the fight for Mullarkey, who collected his first win since besting John Makdessi at UFC 293, snapping a two-fight skid in the process. It was a grimy battle, and a hard-earned win for the Australian veteran, who drew level at 6-6 inside the Octagon with the victory.
Colby Thicknesse defeats Josias Musasa by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Bantamweights Colby Thicknesse and Josias Musasa engaged in a back-and-forth battle that culminated in uanimous decision win for the Australian on Saturday night.

Colby Thicknesse Post-Fight Interview | UFC Perth
/
Musasa was clearly the more effective and dangerous of the two on the feet, taking the fight to Thicknesse early in the first before the Australian was able to drag him to the canvas, where he dominated the second half of the frame. The DWCS grad Musasa controlled the second, landing the better blows and keeping the fight standing before an accidental low blow brought a lengthy pause to things early in the third. After the re-start, Thicknesse was eventually able to swing Musasa to the canvas, climbing straight into mount, where he spent the final 90 seconds landing blow.
The judges were tasked with determining the victor and when the scorecards were collected and totaled, it was Thicknesse that came out ahead. This was a gutsy effort and a solid first UFC victory for the Freestyle MMA representative, who lost his short-notice promotional debut in February, while Musasa fell to 0-2 in the Octagon with the setback.
Michelle Montague defeats Luana Carolina by unanimous decision (29-26, 30-25, 30-26)
The first female fighter from New Zealand to compete in the UFC, Michelle Montague turned her debut in Perth into a dominant win over promotional veteran Luana Carolina.

Michelle Montague Post-Fight Interview | UFC Perth
/
Carolina started well, getting the better of the striking exchanges and slicing Montague open with a sharp elbow from the midway through the first round, but “The Wild One” turned things around from there. She took Carolina to the canvas with greater ease in the second, navigating an illegal upkick that cost the Brazilian a point to to spend much of the round hammering away from top position and generally controlling things before replicating that effort in the third.
Montague is incredibly strong and forceful in top position, which make her an immediate person of interest in the 135-pound weight class, which are currently ruled by her American Top Team training partner Kayla Harrison. This was an excellent performance for the 31-year-old newcomer and gave the ANZAC athletes another win early in the night in Perth.

Brando Pericic Knocks Out Elisha Ellison In Round 1 | UFC Perth
/
The heavyweight duo were initially scheduled to compete earlier this year on Dana White’s Contender Series, but instead, it was shifted to this card and Pericic made the absolute most of it. A right hand early in the fight got Ellison backing up, and from there, “The Balkin Bear” never stopped looking to inflict punishment. When Ellison opted to pull guard, Pericic welcomed the opportunity to attack from top position, raining down blows that put his American foe out.

Fighting out of City Kickboxing in Auckland, New Zealand, the 31-year-old Pericic has limited experience, but looked like an intriguing addition to the division here. Training with standouts and guided by excellent coaches, it’s going to be interesting to see how quickly Pericic can climb the ranks and what kind of waves he can make after this dominant debut effort.
Alexia Thainara defeats Loma Lookboonmee by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Alexia Thainara Post-Fight Interview | UFC Perth
/
Thainara, who earned her place on the roster with a unanimous decision win last season on Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS), controlled the action for the majority of the fight, having good success in space and dominating the grappling exchanges with Lookboonmee throughout. She racked up five takedowns over three rounds, and while she couldn’t find the finish, it wasn’t for a lack of trying, as she investigated submission opportunities and landed hard strikes whenever the two were entangled on the canvas.
All three judges scored the fight in favor of Thainara, who moved to 13-1 overall and extended her winning streak to 11 with her victory over Lookboonmee, who entered on a four-fight winning streak. The 27-year-old has quickly established herself as a rising star in the 115-pound weight class, and the UFC rookie is likely to land in the rankings when they update next week after this one.
