Alejandro Perez reflects on recent rise to contendership, eyes return at UFC 232

Alejandro Perez has been picking up speed in his fighting career. It’s undeniable that he’s becoming a force to be reckoned with in the UFC’s 135-pound division.

The winner of the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America is currently unbeaten in his last seven UFC bouts. Perez’s recent streak includes notable wins over Iuri Alcantara, Matthew Lopez, Scott Jorgensen, and most recently former WEC champion Eddie Wineland.

It’s taken Perez almost three years to put together this unbeaten run, and it’s one that now has him a couple of spots outside the top 10 of the stacked bantamweight division.
