Crute is a seasoned veteran in the UFC, having joined the promotion through Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) in 2018. After winning his debut against Paul Craig, the Australian fighter has gone 4-4-2 in his UFC record. Heading into UFC Perth, Crute is coming off a victory against Marcin Prachnio at UFC 318 earlier this year.

Conversely, Erslan is relatively new to the UFC and has yet to secure a victory in the promotion. The Croatian fighter made his debut against Ion Cutelaba in September 2024, where he lost by split decision. In his next match, Erslan fell short against Navajo Stirling at UFC 315 earlier this year. The upcoming clash against Crute will mark his third fight in the UFC.
