The main event was initially supposed to see Manel Kape and Matheus Nicolau meet in a rematch that had already been booked once this year, but unfortunately, Kape was forced to withdraw, and #8-ranked flyweight contender Alex Perez stepped in to replace him. The 32-year-old entered the night having dropped back-to-back fights for the first time in the UFC, but he rebounded in sensational fashion when he knocked out Nicolau in the second round.
The night’s co-main event was a light heavyweight matchup between Ryan Spann and Bogdan Guskov. The fight marked Spann's second-straight co-main event bout, but “Superman” now finds himself on a three-fight skid after Guskov finished him with a brutal series of punches.
It all goes down tomorrow 👏@Superman_Spann vs Bogdan Guskov
