The UFC’s debut event on Long Island this summer has another fight featuring a local – and it’ll be a rematch. Long Island’s own Chris Wade (11-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) will take on Frankie Perez (10-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in a lightweight fight when the UFC heads back to New York for UFC on FOX 25. The bout was reported by Long Island-based Newsday.com , though it hasn’t been officially announced by the promotion. UFC on FOX 25 takes place at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., on Long Island, on July 22. The main card will air on FOX following prelims expected for FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. The event continues the UFC’s virtual takeover of New York after legislation was passed to legalize MMA in the state in 2016
