UFC featherweight Robert Peralta is lukewarm on a rematch with Mackens Semerzier.

That is, he’ll do it if the UFC requests it, but he’s OK if he doesn’t have to fight Semerzier a second time.

“If that’s what the UFC is giving me, then that’s what I’ll do,” Peralta
today told MMAjunkie.com. “I’m completely fine.”
