Jack Della Maddalena gets the chance to remind everybody who he was before Islam Makhachev changed the conversation. One loss to a once-in-a-generation talent does not erase what JDM has built, but he still has to get past the surging southpaw striker Carlos Prates to hit the reset button. UFC Perth gives us a dangerous welterweight main event where somebody’s title case takes a real hit, while the other moves one step closer to a shot at gold.

Best bets, a sleeper fight you don’t want to miss, and full main card picks for: Jack Della Maddalena vs Carlos Prates, Beneil Dariush vs Quillan Salkilld, Tim Elliott vs Steve Erceg, Shamil Gaziev vs Brando Peričić, Tai Tuivasa vs Louie Sutherland, plus the recap of UFC Vegas 116: Sterling vs Zalal.
