Cristian 'Puas' Perez is a 27-year-old lightweight out of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, who earned his UFC contract on his second trip to Dana White's Contender Series. After getting worn down and stopped in the third round by Manoel Sousa in August 2025, he returned in August 2026 with an overhauled boxing-heavy gameplan, dropping and finishing Logan Paxton in the second round to earn a contract at DWCS Season 10, Week 2. His record splits almost evenly across finishes, six by knockout and six by submission against three decisions, and he is expected to make his promotional debut on the Noche UFC card.
