Australia's Jamie Mullarkey and Peru's Rolando Bedoya will fight on Saturday's UFC Fight Night card at the RAC Arena in Perth. Both fighters have lost multiple fights in a row and will try to get into the win column down under. Here, I break down this fight and give you my Jamie Mullarkey vs Rolando Bedoya prediction for Saturday night.

Jamie Mullarkey is a well-rounded fighter known for his aggressive striking and solid wrestling. But his recent performances have been less than stellar, with two consecutive knockout losses. He has been knocked out in the first round against Nasrat Haqparast and Mauricio Ruffy. This is his first fight since May of 2024 and Mullarkey will look to bounce back in this bout. Despite his last two setbacks, Mullarkey remains a dangerous opponent due to his relentless pace and ability to push the action.
Rolando Bedoya has also struggled to find success in the UFC. He is currently on a three-fight losing streak. His last loss was a unanimous decision to Jai Herbert in August of 2024. Bedoya is known for his high output, landing an average of 7.29 significant strikes per minute. But his lack of finishing ability and questionable takedown defense have been areas of concern. He and Mullarkey will both need to overcome long layoffs if they want to get a win here.
This fight is one where both men can't afford to take a loss. A loss to another struggling fighter to prolong their losing streaks could spell the end of the line for the loser of this fight in UFC. It will be interesting to see how these fighters respond to the pressure on them in this spot, even if this is not a marquee fight on the card.
This bout is expected to be a closely contested affair. Mullarkey's wrestling could play a pivotal role, as Bedoya has shown vulnerability in defending takedowns. If Mullarkey can implement a grappling-heavy game plan, he could control the pace and secure a decision victory.
Bedoya's striking output is impressive, but his lack of finishing ability and defensive shortcomings may hinder his chances against a determined opponent like Mullarkey. I am going to go with Mullarkey to win this fight by decision, as he should get Bedoya to the ground early and often to secure a much-needed victory.
