And Michel Periera shut down a prospect

Pereira is underrated here i guess due to his clowning
Guy is athletic as fuck, fast, big, has power and a chin. Apparently has some grappling game as well.
Yeah he needs to work on accuracy and clown a bit less but, in any case, between him and Williams he surely looks like the better prospect
 
Pereira has proved to be better than most people thought he was but that low output dancing around style ain't gonna work against better guys. It was the body kicks and TD's that got him the W last night, he barely landed any punches to the head but got clipped himself several times.

Pereira is making a name for himself though. He's becoming a name in the UFC.

true that. the guy is fun to watch more often than not, and knows how to make a callout. he's guaranteed a main card spot on every brazil card.
 
I scored it 29-28 for Williams. I can see why people scored it for Michel, but I felt he didn't do enough to justify giving him two rounds personally. Close fight. Both guys had exciting last fights, but after seeing this one I'm not convinced their ceiling at 170 is incredibly high.
 
Do you think he could enter the #15 spot if someone else drops off the rankings?

I mean, sure, he had a loss not long ago - but we all know rankings are just based on opinions and not stats.
 
Pereira is always worth keeping an eye on. In some ways he reminds me of Alan Belcher, a guy people sleep on due to cage theatrics and poor fight decisions. He’s rounding out a bit now, so hopefully we can see some consistency from him. Technically he’s on a 3 fight win streak, and his third round was smart. I’ll be interested to see how his gnp develops, as he seems to have a penchant for elbows from the top position.
 
I thought that Khaos dude looked more bad than Periera looked good..

He just kind of stood there waiting for Peireira to come to him and when he didn’t he had no plan B. Not to mention he had no TDD he got taken down anytime Peireira shot on him.

Peireira looked like shit on the feet himself and spent more time dancing than striking - think he got out struck every round but I see why he won when he landed his strikes were harder and cleaner.

Khaos was the bees knees when he quickly KOed Moreno and Hassan. Also with that evil stared down

But with all of Peiras tomfoolery he comfortably won. Even almost wrapped up a RNC. It was a strange night

WTF you on with "he comfortably won"? It was an uneventful fight, but Khaos outstruck him in every round, and Michel barely did anything apart from that few second RNC attempt.
 
You win some, you lose some. It was Michel's turn this time to 'derail' a prospect. He was in the same place when he was a hot prospect, then got upset by an underdog, Tristan Connelly.

What does that even mean? You had a split decision?

That means I thought 2 of the judges must of had it for khaos and one for Micheal pierre or maybe that it might be scored the other way around. I don't think he should of gotten a unanimous decision. I wasn't very clear.
For some reason in the heat of the moment I sent the post without double-checking what I said and now I have to pay.
 
People and hype trains will never learn unfortunately.

I knew what you meant, and agree with the sentiment. I thought that one judge might give the nod to Michel....
 
That was not an easy win for Pereira at all. I scored it a draw (10-10 second round) but would have had no problem with it going either way. Michel definitely figured Khaos out by the very end of the second round and adapted to win the third comfortably, but Khaos outstruck him pretty much the rest of the fight. One thing I have to say is that Pereira has a freakin' chin on him for sure! We've seen that Khaos hits like a truck and he couldn't even budge him with his power shots.
