Alex Perez has built a solid resume in the UFC flyweight division, highlighted by two Performance of the Night bonuses. His submission win over Jussier Formiga at UFC 250 remains one of the most impressive performances of his career, earning him a title shot. His TKO of Matt Schnell in 2022 showed his striking evolution. While he hasn't won a championship, his wins over top contenders and his ranking in the top 15 reflect his consistency and skill. Perez's wrestling and BJJ background make him a constant threat on the ground.
