Platinum Perry vs. Cowboy Oliveira is ON!

[MovinOn]

It didn’t take long for the UFC to find a new opponent for Alex Oliveira.

Welterweight striker Mike Perry will replace Jingliang Li and face “Cowboy” at UFC Fort Lauderdale in Sunrise, Florida, on April 27, multiple sources told MMA Fighting. ESPN first reported the news.

Perry (12-4) is looking to bounce back from a first-round defeat to Donald Cerrone in November. Prior to suffering the first stoppage loss of his UFC career, “Platinum” beat Paul Felder via split decision at UFC 226.

Oliveira (20-6-1, 2 no-contests) will also attempt to rebound from a submission loss, a second-round rear-naked choke defeat to Gunnar Nelson in December. “Cowboy” tapped Carlos Conditand Carlo Pedersoli in his other UFC appearances in 2018.

Mike just flat-out hates cowboys.

He was a Bull in a previous life.

Perry is charismatic (to those who think behaving like the lowest common denominator is entertaining) but he is a 2.5 star fighter with 4 star power.

Oliveira should take this imo
