Alex Perez awaits MRI after nasty UFC Vegas 93 injury, unsure of return timetable

Alex Perez is hoping for the best after suffering an ugly injury at UFC Vegas 93.

This past Saturday’s main event at UFC APEX in Las Vegas ended in disappointment for the longtime flyweight contender as he lost via TKO when he fell to the mat with opponent Tatsuro Taira hanging on his back. Perez immediately reacted in pain when he went down, prompting referee Herb Dean to call a stop to the contest in the second round.
