Alex Oliveira at UFC on ESPN+ 8: Best photos SUNRISE, Fla. – In the lead-up to his UFC on ESPN+ 8 welterweight bout against Alex Oliveira, Mike Perry made little effort to hide he was having a miserable time going through his weight cut. Now that he’s leaving Fort Lauderdale with not just an exciting victory, but also a “Fight of the Night” bonus , Perry (13-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) is able to take it all in stride. But he’s still not going to pretend the days leading up to the bout were fun. “I was thinking about that weight cut, and, like, a couple of days ago I was like, I was like I wanted to die,” Perry said during Saturday night’s post-fight news conference.
