After a number of consecutive injuries left Thomas Almeida without a fight for two and a half years, the heavy-handed bantamweight finally has another bout lined up, Combate reports. Paired up against The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America bantamweight champion, Alejandro Perez, Almeida will try to snap a two-fight losing skid on October 10.
Almeida (21-3) suffered a TKO defeat to Rob Font, back in January 2018, and had a July 2017 unanimous decision loss to Jimmie Rivera before that. The 29-year-old’s latest victory happened almost four years ago, when he knocked out Albert Morales in November 2016.
