Alex Perez stood out this morning at UFC 324 with a resounding victory over Charles Johnson at flyweight, but he also acknowledged that not making regulation weight before the fight took its toll on him emotionally. In his first interview after the match, Perez admitted that it was difficult to "celebrate" his victory knowing that he had failed the weigh-in, and assured that he will work with his team to prevent it from happening again. Despite that, the fighter highlighted his performance inside the octagon and stated that he wants to be a serious contender in the division again.
