UFC on ESPN 55 results: Alex Perez knocks out Matheus Nicolau with right hook
It’s been a tough and unlucky few years for former UFC title challenger Alex Perez, but Saturday night may have turned that around.
For the first time since 2020, Perez (25-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) picked up a victory when he knocked out Matheus Nicolau (19-5-1 MMA, 7-3 UFC) with a right hand at 2:16 of Round 2. The flyweight bout was the UFC on ESPN 55 main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.ALEX PEREZ WITH A STATEMENT #UFCVEGAS91 pic.twitter.com/sFqLGrSsLN
