— ESPN MMA (@espnmma) September 15, 2019Michel Pereira’s first UFC defeat was a disappointing performance, as he appeared to gas out en route to suffering a unanimous decision defeat to Tristan Connelly in Vancouver on Saturday night.
To make matters worse, “Demolidor” missed weight prior to the bout, and he was criticized for attempting flashy moves and performing flips during the contest. After the fight, Pereira released a statement on Instagram and revealed he cut 38.5 pounds leading up to the fight.
