Carlos Ulberg: Polished striker aiming to extend hot streak
Carlos Ulberg (12-1) arrives at 34 years old, representing New Zealand with an impressive 8-1 record in the UFC. After dropping his promotional debut to Kennedy Nzechukwu, Ulberg has strung together eight straight wins, establishing himself as a consistent contender at light heavyweight. His most recent outing was a unanimous decision over former champion Jan Błachowicz, where he fought cautiously, fully aware of the famed “Polish Power.” While that performance lacked fireworks, it added another major scalp to his growing resume.
With 57% of his victories coming by KO/TKO, Ulberg has clear finishing ability, but he has been more conservative in recent fights. A physically imposing athlete and polished kickboxer, he now seems focused on managing his gas tank and preserving his cardio, often taking fewer risks as the rounds progress. Still, his chin has held up well, and his technical striking makes him a tricky puzzle for any opponent to solve.
Dominick Reyes: Former title challenger on the comeback trail
Standing opposite is 35-year-old American Dominick “The Devastator” Reyes (15-4), who has been rejuvenated after a turbulent spell in his career. Reyes is currently on a three-fight knockout streak, finishing Nikita Krylov, Anthony Smith and Dustin Jacoby in impressive fashion. That resurgence comes after a four-fight losing skid that nearly derailed his career — a run that began with his controversial title bout against Jon Jones. Many still believe Reyes did enough to dethrone the long-reigning champion, and it remains the closest anyone has come to defeating the man widely regarded as MMA’s GOAT.
Reyes has always possessed accurate striking and knockout power, with 67% of his wins coming inside the distance. Confidence has proven key for him: when he is in form, he can overwhelm opponents with his timing and precision. However, his chin has been questioned in the past, and whether it can hold up against another strong striker remains a storyline heading into this bout.
Carlos Ulberg vs Dominick Reyes Prediction
On paper, most observers will lean towards the Kiwi. Ulberg has shown composure and consistency, staying unbeaten since his UFC debut loss and handling each step up in competition with poise. His last two wins may not have been highlight-reel finishes, but they were controlled and convincing.
Reyes, though, is a momentum fighter — and the signs suggest he has rediscovered his old spark. Riding a wave of knockout wins, the American looks like he has regained his belief and timing. This fight has the feel of a turning point, and if Reyes carries that confidence into the Octagon, he has the accuracy and power to break Ulberg’s streak.
Prediction: Dominick Reyes to win
