The UFC returns to its base at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas for a showdown between the top 10 strawweights, but the biggest event of the weekend will likely be the boxing event headlined by Jake Paulo vs. Mike Perry.
The eight-round 200-pound boxing match between Paul and Perry takes place at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. It is the first of two fights that “The Problem Child” has on the agenda, as he is still scheduled to face Mike Tyson at the end of the year.
Perry has never fought above 185 pounds, which could be to Paul’s advantage. But will Perry’s signature aggression and chin cause problems Paul has never faced before? Will there be a knockout?
At the UFC on ESPN 60, Virna Jandiroba faces former title challenger Amanda Lemos. It’s a key clash for both fighters looking to climb the ladder for a shot at gold.
What is the interest level for this main event?
