The state of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s flyweight division is a murky one. No one truly knows if the division is sticking around. With that, Alex Perez is moving up to bantamweight at UFC on ESPN 2.
For Perez, there was a simple reason why he moved up to bantamweight. “They just offered the opportunity, so I decided to take [them up on it],” Perez said to Sherdog.com. “I never turn down fights, so why not?”
Now at bantamweight, Perez will not have to cut as much weight and instead focus more on the actual fight itself.
