Appears on The Ariel Helwani Showwith an excerpt posted to X account @jedigoodman, The flyweight fighter told how his management has already spoken to the UFC brass about extending his contractual agreement. When asked if he is confident about signing another contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Perez said:
“I’m confident, you know. The performance clearly shows a lot. I’m going out to finish Charles.” [Johnson]he’s tough. It’s never finished and I was the first to do it. So I think this has become a statement and they want to see finishes, especially in the lighter divisions. So it all worked in my favor. So I’m confident I’ll get another fight.
Alex Perez on his weight miss that led to his eventual UFC 324 win
Alex Perez made a big impression on the overall 125-pound hierarchy, but there was also an inevitable part that saw him miss the contracted weight for the fight. Perez addressed the contextual element of this UFC 324 fight, which is a shorter turnaround for him, and when touching on the failed pursuit on the scales, Alex Perez said: [via Cageside Press],
“I think the weight issue was just too much of a match. I fought in Doha, I’ll come back over the holidays and do this again. I tend to think I’m still young, which isn’t the case. I’ll be 34 in March, so I can’t make those quick turnarounds like I used to.”
“Hopefully I’ve shown the UFC that I still belong. I need to sit down and talk to my management and talk to Mick Maynard. Hopefully they can forgive me for this, and hopefully I can get a few more fights.”
