Shara Magomedov calls for fight with flashy Michel Pereira at UFC Saudi Arabia: ‘You damn acrobat’

Shara Magomedov has called out Michel Pereira after the Brazilian knocked Ihor Potieria out of their fight at on June 22.

Poteiria was set to face Magomedov on June 22, but he also stepped up on short notice to face Pereira at UFC 301 in Brazil. The hope was he would be healthy enough to fight again in June, but after he was finished in the first round, he would not be cleared to compete on June 22, so he was pulled from the fight.
