For sure, Perez is a really solid fighter but still a bit of a question mark imo. He definitely showed some slickness and mixed up his attack nicely, but defensively there isn't a whole lot to talk about. Tragic as the result was, I think Mago gave him a pretty good opportunity to shine and fact is he still got hit a lot and run close, there are a lot of guys he could/should fight before Wlad.
