Sydney
Rahiki (9-1) is coming off his first professional loss, a unanimous
decision defeat to fellow featherweight prospect Tommy
McMillen. The Moroccan has finished all nine of his
professional wins, including two in the UFC.
Yoo (9-2) joined the UFC in 2025 with an unbeaten record and
knocked out his debut opponent in 28 seconds. The South Korean has
since lost two straight.
The announced UFC Sydney lineup includes a lightweight main event
between Quillan
Salkilld and Benoit St.
Denis, a co-headliner between Robert
Whittaker and Bogdan
Guskov, and four “Road to UFC” tournament finals.
