Mike Perry has a new opponent for UFC 255.

MMA Fighting confirmed with sources with knowledge of the matchup that Tim Means is stepping in to fight Perry at the Nov. 21 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas. Means replaces Robbie Lawler, who was scheduled to face Perry before bowing out with an injury last week.

The Means-Perry fight was first reported by ESPN.

Means (30-12-1, 1 NC) has alternated wins and losses in his previous six appearances. He has fought twice in 2020, with his most recent outcome being a unanimous decision win over Laureano Staropoli at a UFC Fight Night in August. His UFC record stands at 12-9 with one no contest.

For Perry, this will be his first fight since his involvement in a physical altercation at a restaurant in Lubbock, Texas, this past July. According to a police report, Perry struck at least three different people, resulting in him being charged with A assault. He later apologized to the UFC and his sponsors.

Means is much craftier than Perry.

Means is on the downside of his career but I think he'll have enough reach and fight IQ to overtake Perry.

Means will piece him up with razor sharp elbows and other crafty stuff he does well.. But will eventually get caught with something huge and get tkod

They are doing great matchmaking with perry. He’s better than people grasp. I got perry by being bullying and strength but damn I love some dirty bird. Really think and wish he could have made a solid top 10 run though. Maybe he’s still in the pack.

Perry should win this

Feel like Means will be winning until he gets knocked out. Like the Niko Price fight. Perry is still tough, with enough skills and KO power
