UFC on ESPN 55 Background

A flyweight rematch between former Rizin Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape, and Matheus Nicolau was expected to headline the event.

The pairing previously met at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Muhammad in March 2021 which Nicolau won by controversial split decision.

Their second meeting was previously scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Walker 2 in January 2024,  but Kape missed weight and the bout was subsequently cancelled.

In turn, Kape pulled out due to a rib injury, and was replaced by former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger Alex Perez.
