Once called a ‘clown’ and advised to quit MMA, free agent Michel Pereira hopes for UFC deal after going viral

ROAD FC is a big MMA promotion in South Korea, but not many hardcore fans would spend a Saturday morning watching the show. Yet, even if you missed the card on Feb. 23, you probably heard about Michel Pereira.

The Brazilian middleweight has been fighting all over the world over the past three years, but his career took a turn at ROAD FC 52. It’s not the first time he’s done a moonsault off of cage, spinning kicks, superman guard pass off of the fence or a flying side kick, but this time his knockout win over Dae Sung Kim went viral.
