Alex Perez vs. Matt Schnell Shifted from Aug. 28 to Sept. 4 UFC Event

A flyweight clash pitting Alex Perez against Matt Schnell has been pushed back one week from Aug. 28 to Sept. 4.

MMA DNA was first to report that Perez vs. Schnell will now take place at UFC Fight Night 191. UFC Fight Night 191 will be held at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight clash between Darren Till and Derek Brunson.

Perez will return to action for the first time since falling to Deiveson Figueiredo via first-round submission in a flyweight title bout at UFC 255 last November. Prior to that, the Team Oyama representative had been victorious in six of his first seven promotional appearances.

Schnell, meanwhile, has lost two of his last three UFC bouts. Most recently, “Danger” dropped a three-round verdict to Rogerio Bontorin at UFC 262 on May 15. Schnell is 5-4 in the Octagon overall, including a four-fight winning streak from October 2017 to August 2019.
