Michel Pereira: ‘I Am Going To Knock Him Out’

There aren’t enough adjectives to truly capture the essence of Michel Pereira’s fighting style.

Does he run and jump off the cage? Of course. Does he do backflips at random points throughout the fight? Absolutely. But most importantly, does he win? For the last eight fights, the answer has been an emphatic yes.

Since suffering back-to-back defeats in 2019 and 2020, the 31-year-old Brazilian has ran through his competition, winning eight straight fights, four by finish, and collecting five bonus checks. While the first five wins of his current streak were impressive, Pereira hit a new gear in October of 2023 when he moved up to the middleweight division to face Andre Petroski.
