UFC targets Mike Perry vs. Daniel Rodriguez for April 10 event

Mike Perry has his next fight lined up.

The UFC is targeting a welterweight fight between Perry (14-7 MMA, 7-7 UFC) and Daniel Rodriguez for its April 10 event at a location and venue to be announced.

  • Norma Dumont vs. Bea Malecki
  • Sam Alvey vs. Zak Cummings
  • Jordan Griffin vs. Luis Saldana
