Alex Perez Bio

Alex Perez is an American professional mixed martial artist from Hanford, California, who competes in the UFC flyweight division. Born on March 21, 1992, Perez stands 5 feet 6 inches tall and trains at Team Oyama. The UFC lists him as an active fighter as of September 12, 2026. His professional career began in 2011, and he earned a UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2017 before making his UFC debut later that year.

Perez has established himself as a durable, pressure-oriented flyweight who combines striking with wrestling and submission threats. The UFC identifies his fighting style as freestyle and credits him with wins by both knockout and submission. His notable UFC milestones include a first-round stoppage of Jussier Formiga at UFC 250 in June 2020 and a UFC flyweight title challenge against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 255 in November 2020. He later returned from an ACL injury to defeat Charles Johnson at UFC 324 on January 24, 2026. Perez’s bout with Sumudaerji on May 30, 2026, was ruled a no contest after an accidental low blow; the rematch on August 29, 2026, ended in a unanimous-decision loss.
