At UFC Vegas 93, Alex Perez will look to halt Tatsuro Taira’s undefeated run through the flyweight division! The number 5 ranked Perez is aiming to continue his momentum from UFC Vegas 91 when he finished Matheus Nicolau in the second round of their fight with a spectacular knockout. This win snapped a 3-fight losing streak for Perez that began with his loss in a title fight against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 255 in 2020.

Now, the former flyweight title challenger hopes to defend his rank against the surging Japanese star who is currently 5-0 in the UFC. With all eyes on this matchup scheduled for June 15, let’s look and learn more about Perez’s life outside the cage- his family, and more.

Who is Alex Perez’s partner Milana Arlovskaya?

Alex Perez comes from a Mexican family and was born in Hanford, California in 1992. The 32-year-old has an extensive background in wrestling as he was an All-American wrestler during his sophomore year at West Hills College Lemoore. This wrestling experience led to Perez training his friends for their MMA fights after he had completed high school.

Perez made his way to the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series 5 and made his debut under the bright lights of the Octagon in 2017. According to information available online, Perez is married to Milana Arlovskaya. Nevertheless, there isn’t much information available about her as it appears that Arlovskaya prefers to keep a low profile.

In an interview with UFC.com, Perez stated that “fighting doesn’t define me as a person… Everybody says, ‘But you’re a fighter!’ and it’s like, ‘Yeah, but I’m also a dad, I’m also a business owner, I’m also a friend, brother, whatever”, indicating his dedication towards his family and home life, along with his UFC career.

How many kids does the UFC star have with his wife?

Alex Perez and his wife are the parents to a son named Noah Perez who was born in 2021. Perez regularly shares pictures of his son on his social media that highlight the bond between the two.

Perez’s upcoming fight marks his third in around 16 weeks, a demanding schedule reminiscent of historically active fighters like Donald Cerrone. A victory here would solidify his position in the flyweight division and possibly lead to more high-profile matches. However, Perez plans to take a break after this fight to spend time with his son.

In his interview with UFC.com, Perez shared, “I wanna get a little break, hang out with my son, take him to go watch Monster Jam, enjoy some Korean barbecue.”

While Perez’s fighting skills are well-known, his plans post-fight reflect his desire to enjoy time with his loved ones, showcasing a side of him that values family and relaxation. As such, fans will be hoping to see Alex Perez walk out of the Octagon victorious on June 15 so he can relax and enjoy his “Korean barbecue” with his son and his family!
