Alex
Perez
(24-8) will take on Tagir
Ulanbekov
(15-2), while Nathan
Maness
(15-3) is scheduled to lock horns with Jimmy Flick
(17-7). Perez vs. Ulanbekov was first reported by Eurosport NL’s Marcel Dorff on X
(formerly known as Twitter), while James Lynch
initially brought word of Maness vs. Flick.

Perez is currently on a three-fight losing skid, most recently
suffering a unanimous decision loss at the hands of the surging
Muhammad
Mokaev
in March. Prior to that, the California native suffered
back-to-back Round 1 submission losses against Deiveson
Figueiredo
and Alexandre
Pantoja
.

Standing across from him will be Dagestan’s Ulanbekov, fresh off
consecutive submission victories against Cody Durden
and Nathan
Maness
. The victory against Maness marked Ulanbekov’s return to
the win column after suffering his first
Ultimate Fighting Championship
loss against Tim Elliott
at
UFC 272
.

Maness (15-3) will enter the Octagon on the heels of a Round 1
technical knockout victory against Mateus
Mendonca
at
UFC Fight Night 229
. The emphatic win saw him bounce back from
a two-fight losing skid, where he suffered consecutive defeats
against Ulanbekov at flyweight and against Umar
Nurmagomedov
at bantamweight.

Meanwhile, Flick (17-7) wil return to action following a Round 2
submission win over Malcolm
Gordon
at
UFC 297
in January. The
Dana White’s Contender Series
alum has gone 2-2 in the
promotion, securing a Round 1 flying triangle choke submission
victory against Cody Durden
in his
Ultimate Fighting Championship
debut.
