UFC Vegas 99’s official 11-fight lineup is set.
UFC officials on Wednesday announced the promotion’s full Oct. 19 fight card, which is headlined by a five-round bout between middleweight contenders Michel Pereira and Anthony Hernandez. Longtime flyweight contender Matheus Nicolau takes on top up-and-comer Asu Almabayev in the co-main event.
Pereira (31-11, 2 NC) has won eight consecutive UFC bouts and is a perfect 3-0 with three first-round stoppages since moving up back to 185 pounds. He needed just 54 seconds to submit Ihor Potieria with a guillotine choke in his most recent bout in May. All three of his recent middleweight victories earned Pereira post-fight UFC bonuses.
Hernandez (12-2, 1 NC) also rides his own hot streak into the bout, having won five straight with four stoppages and two post-fight bonuses. “Fluffy” submitted Roman Kopylov with a second-round rear-naked choke in his latest octagon appearance this past February.
UFC Vegas 99 takes place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
