Mike Perry has a new opponent for UFC 255.
MMA Fighting confirmed with sources with knowledge of the matchup that Tim Means is stepping in to fight Perry at the Nov. 21 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas. Means replaces Robbie Lawler, who was scheduled to face Perry before bowing out with an injury last week.
The Means-Perry fight was first reported by ESPN.
Means (30-12-1, 1 NC) has alternated wins and losses in his previous six appearances. He has fought twice in 2020, with his most recent outcome being a unanimous decision win over Laureano Staropoli at a UFC Fight Night in August.
