Formerly a kickboxer, New Zealand’s Ulberg will be fighting in Australia for the first time under UFC banner. His only previous pro-MMA bout in Australia came at Eternal MMA 40 in December 2018.
While Ulberg is on a winning streak, South Korea’s Da Un Jung will have to break his losing streak and avoid a third consecutive loss. After going unbeaten in his first 5 bouts in UFC, Jung suffered his first UFC loss to Dustin Jacoby in July 2022 before also losing to Devin Clark in February 2023.
This is just the second match reported to be booked for UFC 293. Viviane Araujo is also scheduled to face Casey O’Neil in a women’s flyweight bout at the event.
