There comes a time in every fighter’s career when the writing on the wall with an organization they rose through the ranks becomes inevitable and they leave the nest of security by joining forces with a new promotion to push their career to second gear. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a panther of prideful steel ready to lunge at his moment of opportunity and seize the day in PFL MMA.

He has fought for Cage Fury Fighting Championships and PFL MMA. Perez has spent his entire tenure as a professional MMA fighter in the United States. He is 1-0 under the PFL MMA banner.
