Tim Means Replaces Robbie Lawler, Faces Mike Perry at UFC 255 on Nov. 21

Veteran action fighter Tim Means will replace Robbie Lawler and lock horns with Mike Perry at UFC 255.

ESPN was first to report the new booking. UFC 255 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Nov. 21 and is headlined by a flyweight championship clash between Deiveson Figueiredo and Alex Perez. In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko defends her 125-pound belt against Jennifer Maia.

Means has won two of his last three Octagon appearances and is coming off a three-round verdict against Laureano Staropoli at UFC Fight Night 174 on Aug. 8. The 36-year-old New Mexico native is 12-9 with one no contest over the course of his promotional tenure.

Perry, meanwhile, halted a two-bout skid with a unanimous decision triumph against Mickey Gall at UFC on ESPN 12 on June 27. The 29-year-old known as “Platinum” is 14-6 as a pro and 7-6 in UFC competition.
