Perez looks like a dangerous opponent thanks to his age advantage, finishing ability, and strong performances in recent fights. Despite Nelson's greater UFC experience, his recent defeat in just a matter of seconds raises questions about his ability to withstand an explosive opening assault. The Mexican could exploit this vulnerability, impose a high pace from the opening minutes, and secure an early finish.
