Mike Perry will look to avenge his recent loss to “Cowboy” against “Cowboy” at UFC Fort Lauderdale.
Perry, a popular welterweight, is set to meet Alex Oliveira at the April 27 event, which takes place at BB&T Center in Fort Lauderdale. Perry is filling in on short notice for Li Jingliang, who fell out of the Oliveira fight due to an injury earlier this week.
MMA Fighting reported the news Tuesday night after ESPN’s Ariel Helwani reported the bout was targeted for the event.
Perry is coming off a first-round submission loss to Donald Cerrone last November at UFC Denver.
