The chance for fireworks – and blood, lots of blood – at the UFC’s 25th anniversary show just increased by a lot.

A barnburner of a welterweight bout between Donald Cerrone and Mike Perry is set for UFC Fight Night 139 on Nov. 10 at Pepsi Center in Denver. UFC President Dana White confirmed the booking to MMAjunkie following an initial report by ESPN.com.

UFC Fight Night 139 will air on FS1 following prelims on UFC Fight Pass, and the event serves to commemorate the promotion’s 25th anniversary. Denver hosted UFC 1 on Nov. 12, 1993.

Cerrone (33-11 MMA, 20-8 UFC) vs. Perry (12-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) is a dream matchup for anyone who loves violence. Both fighters have shown a propensity to stand and bang throughout their careers.

Cerrone, 35, is coming off a unanimous-decision loss to Leon Edwards in last month’s UFC Fight Night 132 headliner. Cerrone was battered and bloodied in defeat as he fell to 1-4 in his past five bouts dating back to January 2017. Prior to the current slump, he’d never lost back-to-back fights.

The 26-year-old Perry, meanwhile, rebounded earlier this month. At UFC 226, he scored the first decision win of his career, earning a split from the judges in a bloody affair with Paul Felder. The victory snapped back-to-back decision losses to Max Griffin and Santiago Ponzinibbio, respectively.

The UFC Fight Night 139 lineup now includes:

• Franke Edgar vs. Chan Sung Jung
• Donald Cerrone vs. Mike Perry
