I'm sorry to say I think Michel gets him out of their early.

I rewatched the Kopylov fight, and Hernandez (one of my favourite fighters in the UFC right now) literally beat him by sticking his tongue out at him lol.

Not even kidding. Kopylov was landing brutal body kicks, and Hernandez showed him how much they hurt every time - but Roman took it as an actual warrior mask and just started wilting lol

When Hernandez finished Kopylov, it was because Kopylov fell over while Hernandez was walking him down.

It's a perfect piece of matchmaking though because Pereira hasn't had an opponent like this in forever. It's been exclusively kickboxers outside of Petroski, who isn't on this level. Pereira's record pre-his UFC kickboxer run really wasn't all that. I think Hernandez can do what he does best, ie, R3SUB, but I like that R1KO more. Hernandez is so vulnerable to the body. So vulnerable Kopylov should be ashamed he didn't get him out of there IMO.

Michelle, by flying backflip nut shot!!

 

[IDGETKTFO]

The correct answer is Francis Ngannou.

I like Hernandez, but Pereira’s last performance was shockingly good, and Hernandez has been off awhile. I’m excited to see this fight. I’ve been looking forward to Hernandez’s return.

Fluffy wins in deep waters

 

[Egészségére!]

MW Michel is 3-0, all first round finishes & all POTNs

Dude’s on a tear

Sucks one of them has to lose but I’ll guess he overwhelms Hernandez too & gets the early finish

 

[Raise Your Fist]

Hernandez via sub round 4

 

[NoSmilez]

No way Michel is 31.

 

[Goutfather]

here’s my theory, fwiw: michel pereira fucked dana white’s wife. how else can you explain it? exciting fighter goes on 8-fight undefeated streak, and he finally gets a shot at some unranked guy? if he just wins 3 or 4 more, he’ll crack the top 10 before he’s in his mid-30’s, maybe title shot by 36.

Fluffy is way better on the ground but Michel smokes him on the feet. Fluffy seemed really slow last fight imo, I could see him getting caught with something nasty

 

[TrueBias]

Doesnt perr fight at WW?

 

[Jinx_AA]

Pereira finish under 2.5

 

[svmr_db]

Doesnt perr fight at WW?

He used to but he moved up to middleweight after he missed weight for his fight vs Stephen Thompson.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Pereira by KO/TKO round 2, too fast and dynamic. If he wins that will be a 9 fight win streak in UFC, very impressive

 

[vinnie245]

Perreira by Eddie Gordo special.

 

[burningspear]

come from behind fighters always reach their level

 

[CrimsonFan]

Pereira I think will be too much for Fluffy.

But if he doesn't get a finish in the first two rounds.. Hernandez is legit one of the toughest guys around and could turn the tables on him. Especially with 5 rounds

It shouldn’t be forgotten that Pereira got out-grappled by an average FW in Tristan Connelly. Of course Fluffy got sparked by Holland in a minute as well.

So yeah, both guys with glaring holes they’ve never truly fixed (though Pereira looks huge even at MW, could be a LHW, and fights at a lot smarter pace with less stupid shit like backflips and cartwheels in fight).

As you said great match making, both weak where the other is strong - Pereira sparks him in the first or gasses and gets grapple fucked late.

I’m all here for it!

Hernandez by decision. I think he has better cardio and will outwrestle him.
