A flyweight clash pitting Alex Perez
against Matt
Schnell has been pushed back one week from Aug. 28 to Sept.
4.
MMA
DNA was first to report that Perez vs. Schnell will now take
place at
UFC Fight Night 191. UFC Fight Night 191 will be held at the
UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight clash
between Darren Till
and Derek
Brunson.
Perez will return to action for the first time since falling to
Deiveson
Figueiredo via first-round submission in a flyweight title bout
at UFC 255 last November. Prior to that, the Team Oyama
representative had been victorious in six of his first seven
promotional appearances.
Schnell, meanwhile, has lost two of his last three UFC bouts. Most
recently, “Danger” dropped a three-round verdict to Rogerio
Bontorin at UFC 262 on May 15. Schnell is 5-4 in the Octagon
overall, including a four-fight winning streak from October 2017 to
August 2019.
