Ranked UFC flyweight contenders Alex Perez and Charles Johnson will go head-to-head in the early prelims of the UFC 324 card on Jan. 24, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Perez is currently on a two-fight losing streak, which is why he’s the betting underdog heading into the match with +150 UFC odds. Meanwhile, Johnson is coming off a win from his previous bout and will be the betting favorite with -180 odds.

UFC 324: Alex Perez vs. Charles Johnson: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO finish for Johnson against Perez as he packs incredible power in his punches and is a very accurate striker. If he’s able to land a solid strike against Perez, it would be over within two rounds.
Perez is a well-rounded athlete, but prefers to grapple with his opponents. He has the option to take Johnson down, but I think Johnson’s takedown defense is enough for him to stop these attempts by Perez.
