Matheus Nicolau is finally on the verge of a UFC return.

The longtime flyweight contender and his fellow UFC Vegas 91 headliner Alex Perez both made weight at Friday’s official weigh-ins, rendering their main event official. Nicolau tipped the scales at 125.5 pounds, while Perez weighed in at 126 pounds, both meeting the 126-pound limit for a non-title flyweight contest.

Nicolau has been out of action for more than a year after repeated attempts to book a matchup against Manel Kape have fallen through. Nicolau was once again set to face Kape at UFC Vegas 91, however Kape ultimately withdrew and Perez stepped in on short notice.
