A welterweight showcase between Michel Pereira and Zelim Imadaev is currently in the works for the upcoming UFC Fight Night card on Sept. 5.
Multiple sources confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Wednesday following an initial report from ESPN.
The always flashy Pereira stormed into the UFC with a highlight-reel knockout over Danny Roberts, but he’s failed to capitalize on that win after dropping his past two fights. Pereira looked like he was on his way to a win over Diego Sanchez in his last appearance but an illegal knee strike ended the fight, which caused him to be disqualified.
