Dana delivers cruel update for UFC 303 | 01:40Kaan Ofli can still see his mum crying, and with her back wedged against the door of their Melbourne refuge bedroom , as outside, and hysterical, a drug addict is trying to break the thing down with tattooed fists .“No idea,” shrugs Ofli, who may just be the greatest Australia n fight story you’ve never heard.. Main Event on Kayo Sports and Foxtel is the exclusive home of UFC Pay-Per-View.

Which is a story now being shared by this gutsiest of Aussie fighters who also knows the pain of losing both his father and former girlfriend to suicide. Set to air this Wednesday on ESPN from 12 noon, the fight is the latest move for a Melburnian who has already sparred Alexander Volkanovski in not one, but two fight camps and insists he could sit “top 10, even top five of the featherweight division, right now”.

“But with Australian MMA being fairly small, it got to a point where I hit a ceiling with my training, couldn’t get any more fights, so I started travelling … Bali, Thailand, wherever I could prove myself.Incredibly, the fighter concedes he would not be here if not for several sliding doors moments, which included a former coach, at 17, talking him out of joining the army to instead stick with fighting.
