This weekend’s UFC Fight Night event in Las Vegas features UFC Vegas 93: Alex Perez and Tatsuro Taira as the leading competitors. Both men hope to utilize this fight as a springboard to a future flyweight title chance. The fight will occur at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
After losing his three previous fights, Perez is coming off a much-needed victory over Matheus Nicolau in April. He now squares up against Taira, a developing talent in the division who has won all 15 of his contests and is still moving up the flyweight rankings.
The 22-year-old Japanese fighter defeated Carlos Hernandez via TKO in the second round of their bout in December.
