Pericic vs. Gaziev at UFC Perth

Published May 1, 2026 · Updated May 2, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Brando Pericic (6-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) looks to extend his UFC winning streak when he faces Shamil Gaziev (14-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) on the UFC Fight Night 275 main card in Perth, Australia.

Pericic, coming off two first-round UFC stoppages, holds home advantage in this matchup booked on shorter notice. Gaziev, a former Dagestani national volleyball player, saw his two-fight win streak snapped by Waldo Cortes-Acosta in November.

Despite Gaziev being favored by oddsmakers, public betting has shifted to Pericic (-142). Expert analysis suggests Pericic's power and killer instincts will be too much for Gaziev, predicting a knockout victory by Round 2. The fight is expected to begin at approximately 7:40 a.m. ET and streams live on Paramount+. sport-newz.biz
