Michel Pereira enters UFC Vegas 9 on a two-fight losing skid, but the Brazilian welterweight doesn’t feel it in his heart.
Pereira battles Zelim Imadaev on Saturday at UFC Vegas 9, seven months after losing via disqualification to longtime veteran Diego Sanchez. A long time has passed since that night in Rio Rancho, N.M., but Pereira still disagrees with the outcome.
“Demolidor” was ahead in the scorecards going into the final round and continued to dominate Sanchez in the striking area, but ended landed a clearly illegal blow to the head.
