With his eccentric fighting style and laundry list of electrifying finishes, Michel Pereira is one of the most popular fighters on the UFC roster. Following missing weight for his last welterweight bout in 2023, the Brazilian bruiser made the decision to move up in weight to 185 lbs., where he has since won three straight in the first round with three performance bonuses. Now, “Demolidor” gets his first crack at the middleweight top-15 when he faces Anthony Hernandez at UFC Fight Night 245.
Last Time Out…
On something of a hot streak himself, Hernandez is currently riding a five-fight win streak (including four finishes) since suffering a 39-second TKO loss to Kevin Holland in 2020.
