“As in the guy with all the animals?”
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) flyweight title contender Alex Perez is about to become a father, and though he campaigned for the name “Elijah,” he eventually settled on “Noah,” which opens up the door for all sorts of corny references.
Perez and his team were featured prominently in Episode 5 of UFC 255: “Embedded,” which provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at select mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters preparing for this weekend’s (Sat., Nov. 21, 2020) pay-per-view (PPV) fight card inside the promotion’s APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Fans also get a closer look at co-headliner Jennifer Maia, as well as main card fighter Brandon Royval. In addition, Valentina Shevchenko and Deiveson Figueiredo, who defend their titles against Maia and Perez, respectively, turn a critical eye toward the 125-pound divisions.
