Michel Pereira Wastes No Time
From the opening bell, Pereira wasted no time. He unleashed a powerful one-two combination that sent Potieria to the canvas. But Pereira wasn’t content with just that. In true showman fashion, he executed a backflip over his stunned opponent. The crowd gasped as he landed on his feet, showcasing his athleticism and flair.
However, the real highlight came moments later. As Potieria scrambled to get back up, Pereira seized the opportunity. He locked in a tight-standing guillotine choke, leaving Potieria with no escape. The Ukrainian fighter tapped out just before he fell unconscious. It was a brutal finish that showcased Pereira’s killer instinct.
After the fight, commission officials reviewed Pereira’s backflip. There were concerns about a potential illegal knee strike to Potieria’s head during the acrobatic move. Replays showed that the knee mostly landed on Potieria’s shoulder, ruling it a legal strike. Pereira’s victory stood, and he continued his remarkable streak.
