Rob Wilkinson ’s UFC run didn’t go as planned, but the Australian middleweight returned to the win column in his first post-octagon MMA appearance. Released from the UFC following back-to-back losses to Siyar Bahadurzada and Israel Adesanya, the 27-year-old Wilkinson tried his hand at a few kickboxing contests earlier this year. But on Sunday, he stepped back into an MMA cage in his native country at Australian FC 23, which took place at Melbourne Pavilion and streamed live on UFC Fight Pass . Standing across the cage from Wilkinson was a fellow countryman in Dylan Andrews, “The Ultimate Fighter 17” semifinalist who went on to compete five times in the UFC.
