After his win at UFC Vegas 55 on Saturday against Santiago Ponzinibbio, Michel Pereira had a few names in mind as a potential next opponent. Apart from Nate Diaz, the 28-year-old Brazilian also called out Jorge Masvidal to settle a personal “problem.”
“(Masvidal) sent an emoji to my wife. The (praying hands) emoji,” Pereira said at the post-fight scrum. “He sent it to my wife and didn’t send it to me.
“I never actually crossed paths with him, never had the chance to ask him. So I figured I really want to understand, but might as well understand inside the Octagon.
