Gaziev vs. Pericic at UFC Perth

Shamil Gaziev (14-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) aims to bounce back from a November loss when he faces Australian prospect Brando Pericic (6-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) on the UFC Fight Night 275 main card. Gaziev had his momentum halted by Waldo Cortes-Acosta's unanimous decision, while Pericic has won both UFC fights by first-round stoppage.

Despite oddsmakers initially favoring Gaziev, public betting has made Pericic the favorite (-142) with an expected knockout victory in Round 2. The fight is scheduled to begin at approximately 7:40 a.m. ET and streams live on Paramount+. newssport.cv
