- The bout is booked for May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood on a Netflix event promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions.
- Both fighters return to MMA after long layoffs, with Perry last competing in April 2021 and Diaz in September 2022.
- Perry said he has been retraining full MMA skills and plans to look for submissions, throw elbows and knees, and land big punches.
