Michel Pereira has only been in the UFC for a year. He’s only officially won one of the three bouts he’s had inside the Octagon. But, already the Brazilian has made a serious impact with fans, based on his high-flying antics and wild fighting style.
The 27-year-old ‘Demolidor’ has built his reputation as an all-action wild man in the cage, performing flips, springing off walls, and throwing just about anything at any time. However, following an ugly decision loss to lightweight Tristan Connelly, and a DQ due to an illegal knee against Diego Sanchez, it was worth wondering if the UFC might just wash their hands of the former Serbian Battle Championship title holder.
