UFC Macau: Alex Perez appears to vomit in bucket after accidental groin strike

Alex Perez's tumultuous UFC run produced another bizarre chapter at UFC Macau when an accidental low blow from opponent Sumudaerji left him incapacitated during their flyweight bout. Nearly two minutes into the second round, Sumudaerji's front kick caught Perez below the belt, dropping him to his knees and prompting him to hover over a bucket near the cage. Referee Mark Craig consulted with cageside official Marc Goddard, with uncertainty over whether Perez had actually vomited or was simply dealing with saliva. After a lengthy stoppage and consultation, the bout was ruled a no-contest. Perez has become known for an unusual streak of complications—cancelled fights, weight misses, and unexpected incidents—making this groin strike another unlikely addition to his problematic recent history in the octagon.
