UFC Boise gets yet another great scrap as Eddie Wineland meets Alejandro Perez
The UFC’s upcoming stop in Boise, Idaho, continues to get better, and better, and better. The latest addition to this shockingly stacked Fight Night card is a bantamweight battle between former WEC bantamweight champion Eddie Wineland, and the streaking Alejandro Perez.
Wineland, who once fought for the UFC interim bantamweight championship, last competed in April of 2017, when he gave up a decision to John Dodson. This loss was preceded by back-to-back TKO wins over Takeya Mizugaki and Frankie Saenz. He is currently 23-12-2.
Perez, meanwhile, is on a three-fight streak, having recently bested Andre Soukhamthath, Iuri Alcantara, and Mathew Lopez. He owns an impressive UFC record of 6-1-1 and is 20-6-1 overall.
