Alejandro Perez out of Thomas Almeida fight at UFC on ESPN+ 37

Thomas Almeida needs a new opponent for his long-awaited return to the octagon this month at UFC on ESPN+ 37.

Alejandro Perez (21-8-1 MMA, 7-3-1 UFC), who was scheduled to face Almeida (21-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) in a bantamweight bout on the Oct. 10 card, which takes place at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, has been forced out due to a reported positive coronavirus test.

MMA Junkie verified news of Perez’s removal from the matchup with a person close to the situation following an initial report from Milenio.com.

  • Marlon Moraes vs. Cory Sandhagen
