Former welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena returns to the Octagon on Saturday, marking the first time he has fought since dropping the belt to Islam Makhachev. Standing across the Octagon will be another elite striker, Brazilian heavy hitter Carlos Prates. The two square off in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Della Maddalena’s backyard of Perth, Australia.
A win for either man moves them toward a potential future title shot, while a loss represents a major setback in their respective quests to reach the top of the mountain.

Della Maddalena won his first eight UFC bouts, culminating in a title-winning performance against Belal Muhammad at UFC 315. He was not able to hold on to the title for long, running into Makhachev, CBS Sports’ No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter.
Prates has not yet experienced a title fight in the UFC, but he has piled up six Performance of the Night bonuses in his six Octagon victories. Only one man, Ian Machado Garry, has managed to defeat Prates in his UFC career.
Below is how you can catch all the action on Saturday in Australia along with our full preview and expert picks on the main event.
