They’re “teammates” right? Those guys don’t care, lol:

I favor Pereira (especially standing) but you can never count out the finishing ability of Dolidze

Awesome!

That gives even more options in the Fight to Make threads

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Immovable object vs an unstoppable force.

Dolidze should struggle with the movement and power more than he did against Imavov here but he might be durable enough to survive and unlike Imavov Pereira's grappling isn't as proven... I think Pereira lands heavy and often here and if he can't finish it he should have the skills to go on cruise control picking shots at range like he did against WW's using his footwork to stay safe but I'm extremely interested to see how any grappling will go against somebody Pereira won't just be able to out muscle since Dolidze may be slow as possible but he's extremely strong.

Pereira by decision

Hell yeah!
Not everyone is willing to face their (badass) teammate though

 

[azerty]

Michel Pereira fastly becoming the best Pereira

 

[TempleoftheDog]

That’s a quick turnaround for Michel. He’s ranked 13, and Roman 11.

It’s a good fight all the way around.

War Michel.

At the end of the day.. There can be only one.

I respect teammates that fight, if they have to. It’s not something they look forward to I imagine.

But if you’re friends beforehand, and professionals. You put that aside for a very short time. No controversy, and may the better fighter win.

And you come out of the fight with even more respect, and may even be closer friends. It’s not personal.

 

[Fatback96]

Dolidze showed he can’t actually strike at all so I’ll never pick him again.

 

[Gabe]

Michel will finish him.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Dolidze seems to struggle against strikers with good takedown defense. I thihnk I like Pereira in this fight.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Very true -- his leg locks are lethal

I favor Pereira (especially standing) but you can never count out the finishing ability of Dolidze

 

[sonhow]

Perreira finishing him in about two minutes would be huge

I believe Pereira will finish Dolidze within 2rounds. Hes way faster and might mix some td game

Immovable? Unstoppable? What's with ppl using wrong hyperboles? They're not even undefeated

 

[Danespina]

Michel going for that fighter of the year award.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I chose Pereira in the poll, but that's a very interesting fight, and probably not a gimme for him. LFG
