Mike Perry vs. Alan Jouban is one of several fights added to UFC on FOX 22 in Sacramento, California.
UFC matchmakers are busy filling up the promotion’s final big FOX card of 2016. As was confirmed on Monday by the LA Daily News, welterweight Mike Perry will take on Alan Jouban, with Perry set for his 3rd UFC appearance in just 5 months.
Perry (9-0) is coming off an entertaining slugfest with Danny Roberts at UFC 204. He knocked out Roberts with just seconds remaining in the final round, improving him to 2-0 inside the Octagon. “Platinum” made his UFC debut in August, starching Hyun Gyu Lim in the 1st round,although the cornering controversy somewhat marred Perry’s dominant performance.
Jouban (14-4) last fought in July, taking home a unanimous decision over Belal Muhammad, as well as a $50,000 check for FOTN honors. Back in March, the 34-year-old destroyed Brendan O’Reilly for the quick 1st round TKO. His last loss came against Albert Tumenov at UFC 192.
Also on tap are welterweights Bryan Barberena (12-3) and Colby Covington (10-1). Barberena has beaten Sage Northcutt and Warlley Alves in back-to-back outings, handing both of those prospects their first career defeats. Covington, whose lone loss was to Alves, defeated Jonathan Meunier and Max Griffin in his last two outings.
The other additions to UFC on FOX 22 include welterweights James Moontasri and Alex Morono (which was slated for the cancelled UFC Manila card), lightweights Josh Emmett and Scott Holtzman, and Bojan Velickovic vs. Sultan Aliev.
UFC on FOX 22 will be on Saturday, December 17th from the new Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. The main event is a five-round strawweight matchup between Paige VanZant and Michelle Waterson. Sage Northcutt vs. Mickey Gall and Urijah Faber vs. Brad Pickett are also scheduled for this show.
