A bout between welterweight sluggers Yancy Medeiros and Mike Perry is the latest addition to July’s UFC 226 lineup.
UFC officials formally announced the matchup between Medeiros (15-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) and Perry (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) following an initial report from reviewjournal.com (via Twitter):
Excitement level @YMedeiros takes on @PlatinumPerry in Las Vegas at #UFC226
— UFC (@ufc) April 17, 2018
UFC 226 takes place July 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the full fight card and bout order are still being put together.
Medeiros is coming off a loss in the most high-profile fight of his career. Following a “Fight of the Year” candidate win over Alex Oliveira at UFC 218 in December, Medeiros was awarded a main-event spot against Donald Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 126 in February. The fight didn’t go his way, though, and the 30-year-old Hawaiian slugger succumbed to a first-round TKO.
Perry looks to get back on track at the event. Following a fast start to the 26-year-old’s UFC career with four wins in five fights, “Platinum” has now lost two straight bouts, with his most recent coming by decision against Max Griffin at UFC on FOX 28 in February.
Combined, Medeiros and Perry have 19 knockouts in 29 career wins.
