Two Flyweight Bouts Booked for UFC Fight Night Event in Las Vegas on June 15

Alex Perez (24-8) will take on Tagir Ulanbekov (15-2), while Nathan Maness (15-3) is scheduled to lock horns with Jimmy Flick (17-7). Perez vs. Ulanbekov was first reported by Eurosport NL’s Marcel Dorff on X (formerly known as Twitter), while James Lynch initially brought word of Maness vs. Flick.

Perez is currently on a three-fight losing skid, most recently suffering a unanimous decision loss at the hands of the surging Muhammad Mokaev in March. Prior to that, the California native suffered back-to-back Round 1 submission losses against Deiveson Figueiredo and Alexandre Pantoja.

Standing across from him will be Dagestan’s Ulanbekov, fresh off consecutive submission victories against Cody Durden and Nathan Maness. The victory against Maness marked Ulanbekov’s return to the win column after suffering his first Ultimate Fighting Championship loss against Tim Elliott at UFC 272.

Maness (15-3) will enter the Octagon on the heels of a Round 1 technical knockout victory against Mateus Mendonca at UFC Fight Night 229. The emphatic win saw him bounce back from a two-fight losing skid, where he suffered consecutive defeats against Ulanbekov at flyweight and against Umar Nurmagomedov at bantamweight.

Meanwhile, Flick (17-7) wil return to action following a Round 2 submission win over Malcolm Gordon at UFC 297 in January. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum has gone 2-2 in the promotion, securing a Round 1 flying triangle choke submission victory against Cody Durden in his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut.
