Just before the action heads to Saudi Arabia for its debut in the country, the UFC bandwagon will make a halt at the Apex Facility in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 15. The card will be headlined by an action-packed 5-round banger between the flyweights Alex Perez and Japanese phenom, Tatsuro Taira.
Perez, coming off of a spectacular stoppage of Matheus Nicolau, will test the #13 ranked, Taira who will look to extend his lossless streak to 16-0-0. In fact, the 24-year-old is high on confidence after destroying Carlos Hernandez last December and a bout against the #5 ranked Perez will be a major test for the youngster.
Fight fans from all over the world will also tune in to catch the UFC Vegas 93 through their screens. Hopefully, this guide to the UFC Vegas 93 schedule in more than 20 countries, including the USA and Japan will help UFC enthusiasts worldwide.
