Spotlighting Three Ascending Talents Primed To Potentially Make A Statement On Saturday

As you would expect, several of the top talents from Australia and New Zealand to compete inside the Octagon had their debut and breakout moments on fight cards Down Under, including Dan Hooker, Tai Tuivasa, and Kai Kara-France, all of whom are slated to compete this weekend.

But Perth itself has played host to some important debuts and pivotal moments along the way, with UFC 305 headliner Israel Adesanya making his first appearance at UFC 221, one fight after former featherweight ruler Alexander Volkanovski earned his first eye-opening win in the promotion by dominating Jeremy Kennedy.
