UFC Fight Night 43 will take place from the Tingley Coliseum on June 7th and will be headlined by a lightweight bout as former lightweight champion Benson Henderson faces Rustam Khabilov.
Caraway (18-6) has won three of his four fights in the UFC and his last victory came last year at UFC 159 when he won the submission of the night with a third round victory against Johnny Bedford. He was scheduled to return earlier this year, but an injury pulled him out of the UFC 170 card in February.
Perez (14-5) was signed by the UFC in 2012 and has won four of his five fights in the organization. His last appearance in the octagon came in November as he won a decision over Edwin Figueroa at UFC 167.
