A ranked UFC flyweight battle is in the works for an upcoming card in Texas. On March 25, former title challenger Alex Perez has a new opponent and will take on Manel Kape at a UFC Fight Night event in San Antonio. A source with knowledge of the booking confirmed with MMA Junkie that the fight is in the works following a first report from MMA Fighting . Perez (24-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) recently lost a February booking at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia against former interim title challenger Kai Kara-France., who was forced out due to injury. Perez stepped into the octagon only one time in 2022, suffering a setback against Alexandre Pantoja. Prior to his title challenge against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 255, Perez won three in a row, including a pair of first-round stoppages against Jordan Espinosa and Jussier Formiga.
