Perez (20-8 MMA, 1-2 NMMA) last fought in May 2021 when he picked up his first win under the Bellator banner, outpointing Blaine Shutt in a unanimous decision at Bellator 258.
Prior to that, “Goyito” has a pair of defeats that plagued his Bellator run. The 32-year-old Mexican most notably made a name for himself during his stint in the UFC. He competed in the UFC from 2012 to 2016 and went 7-2 in the organization.
Meanwhile, Hamilton (15-9 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) is looking to get his first win under the Bellator lights. He lost his debut via submission against Magomed Magomedov and then suffered a TKO loss to Matheus Mattos.
