Michel Pereira is an unconventional dude. ‘Demolidor’ as the 27-year-old Brazilian is known, has quickly built a reputation in the UFC for his wild in-cage antics, dangerous power, and unfortunate tendency to self destruct in fights. Whether it’s poor cardio, or a terribly mistimed knee to Diego Sanchez’s head, his two bouts following his Octagon debut have suggested he needs to make some changes.
But never fear, Pereira is hardly the kind of fighter to get stuck in a rut, or settle into a grind. During a recent pre-fight media scrum for his upcoming bout against Zelim Imadaev at UFC Vegas 9, Pereira revealed just what he’s been doing different to get ready for his next opponent.
