Ecuadorian welterweight fighter Mayton Perea secured a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) after a 45-second knockout victory against Zevan Hunt at Dana White’s Contender Series in Las Vegas. To meet weight requirements for the division, Perea underwent intense physical preparation.

Following his victory, Perea indicated that the UFC has expressed interest in a potential debut this December. While a specific date and opponent remain unfinalized, the timing may be linked to the scheduling of other Ecuadorian fighters, such as Michael Morales and Chito Vera, for a potential Ecuadorian-themed card.
