Tom 'Big Train' Nolan is a 26-year-old Australian lightweight and the UFC's No. 11-ranked contender, a converted rugby league player out of Team Compton Training Centre who earned his contract off Dana White's Contender Series in 2023. He has won every appearance since his lone professional loss, most recently a first-round rear-naked choke of Charlie Campbell and a unanimous decision over Fares Ziam in June 2026. He now gets his first UFC main event on short notice against veteran former title challenger Renato Moicano.
