What’s next for Alex Perez and Matheus Nicolau after UFC Vegas 91?
In the main event of UFC Vegas 91, top-10 flyweights threw down as Alex Perez took on Matheus Nicolau.
Perez entered the fight on short notice and coming off a decision loss to Muhammad Mokaev, which was his third-straight loss. Nicolau, meanwhile, was coming off a KO loss to Brandon Royval last April.
Ultimately, it was Perez who got his hand raised as he scored a second-round knockout win over Nicolau. Following UFC Vegas 91, here is what I think should be next for both men involved in the main event.
Alex Perez
Alex Perez stepped up on short notice to face Matheus Nicolau in the main event of UFC Vegas 91 and he returned to the win column in a big way. Perez looked fantastic and ended up getting the knock out win.
With Perez getting the big win at UFC Vegas 91, he will be back in the top-five, or right near the top-five. Perez has fought most of the top flyweights, but one person he hasn’t fought is Kai Kara-France. The fight could headline a Fight Night card sometime this summer wiht the winner likely a win away from a title shot.
