It looks as if the UFC’s return to the Australian city of Adelaide has its first matchup.
Reports from Combate and MMA Fighting have flyweights Wilson Reis and Ben Nguyen squaring off at the Adelaide Entertainment Center. The card will technically be December 2nd in Australia, but the time zone difference means it’ll air Saturday, December 1st in North America.
Reis (22-9) is a former flyweight title challenger who is in must-win territory. He was submitted by then-champion Demetrious Johnson in April 2017, knocked out by current champion Henry Cejudo, and most recently dropped a decision to John Moraga at UFC on FOX 29 in April.
