The UFC Vegas 91 fight card has a lot of pressure to be successful after what went down a couple of weekends ago at UFC 300.
But that is the beauty of the sport of mixed martial arts. Even if the UFC is returning to the UFC APEX atmosphere, we might witness something special.
Matheus Nicolau vs. Alex Perez is an interesting match-up that both men need – let’s hope they make the most of this main event opportunity.
If Matheus Nicolau can secure a victory over a former title challenger like Alex Perez, his ranking could place this Brazilian in discussions at either a number-one contender fight or even a championship fight.
Alex Perez is looking to play spoiler at UFC Vegas 91. Perez could jump the line with a win over Matheus Nicolau. The flyweight division is wide open at the moment. If Perez can capitalize on Manel Kape dropping out, he could be the man who gets next at whoever holds the title after UFC 301.
If you dive deep into this fight card, it has many exciting and enjoyable matchups.
