It’ll be New Jersey vs. Long Island at Nassau Coliseum.
Frankie Perez will take on Chris Wade at UFC on FOX 25 on July 22 in Uniondale, N.Y., MMA Fighting confirmed Wednesday after the initial report by Newsday’s Mark La Monica.
Perez (10-3) came out of a brief retirement in December, falling to Marc Diakiese by unanimous decision. The Howel, N.J., native stepped away from the sport after a knockout win over Sam Stout in 2015, but returned last year. Perez, 27, trains out of Ricardo Almeida’s gym and is a teammate of Frankie Edgar and others.
