The UFC returns to its home base at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas for a top 10 strawweight showdown, but the bigger event of the weekend will likely be the boxing event headlined by Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry.
The eight-round boxing match at 200 pounds between Paul and Perry goes down at Amalie Arena in Tampa Fla. It’s the first of two bouts “The Problem Child” has on the schedule, as he’s still set to face Mike Tyson later in the year.
Perry has never fought above 185 pounds, which could be an advantage for Paul. But will Perry’s signature aggression and chin give problems Paul hasn’t faced before? Will there be a knockout?
At UFC on ESPN 60, Virna Jandiroba takes on former title challenger Amanda Lemos. It’s a key matchup for both fighters who aim to climb the ladder to a shot at gold.
What’s the level of interest for this main event?
