“People always ask me about title shots, and I’m like, ‘Look, I can’t even talk about title shots; I haven’t won a fight in how long?’” he said. “I’m not worried about what’s going on (in the division). It doesn’t affect me in any way, shape or form, so it doesn’t really matter who’s at the top. My goal is obviously to win that title, whether it’s Brandon (Moreno), Deiveson, Kai (Kara-France), Askar, whoever it is. But I gotta win first, win a couple, and see where that takes me. That’s all I’m really worried about – getting this next one out of the way, winning, and seeing what’s next. If the division changes, great. If not, then cool, I’m not worried about it.”

For the record, it’s been June of 2020 since Perez last got his hand raised against Jussier Formiga, not that he needed a reminder. He knows exactly what’s gone on and what he needs to do. Like Al Davis used to say, “Just win, baby.”

“I get in there and do my job, and if I do that, everything will take care of itself,” he said. “I’ve done that from the beginning. Just win fights and they can’t deny you. It’s kind of the same thing and the same process.”
