Michel Pereira vs. Ihor Potieria was one of the worst beatdowns I've seen recently

[generalyum]

Outclassed him on the feet and dropped him hard before putting him to sleep with a standing guillotine. It's like a shorter version of the Lauzon vs. Ruediger beatdown.

For Shogun

 

[Human Bass]

The crazy thing is that Michel is a former WW while Potieria is a former LHW.

And Pereira looked slightly bigger

 

[Elegant]

Couldn't have happened to anyone better either

 

[usernamee]

Everyone knew that's what would happen in that fight. Another quite favourable matchup earlier was Craig vs Borallo.

Extremely Bigger

Pereira actually split his time between WW, MW and sometimes even LHW before he hit the UFC.

He tried committing to WW to maximize his size like so many guys do, but now that he's back to his more natural weight he's finally putting on great performances. Night and day from what he used to be.

Dawodu/Henry esque.

 

[Harlekin]

Give Michel Pereira a top 5 guy.
His skills are far better than DDP's anyway.
He got better hands, better kicks, better submissions and his arsenal is about three times the size

He's entertaining and 8:0 now

Without the DQ and the gassing doing flips, he would be 13:0 now

 

[FreedomCricket]

Not many people can land the flying backflip knee to the chest

 

[Natural Order]

Dude will never live down the Connelly loss. Battered with ease by a guy half his size on five days notice.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

He is so entertaining and exciting. I've really become a fan of him in the last year

That's a hilarious and ridiculous claim. How long ago was that fight? And "with ease"? Did you see it? What do you get out of brainless hating?

Plenty of Welterweights can beat Light Heavyweights, Light Heavyweight is that bad. Did Luque KO Thiago Santos? I know Adlan Amagov starched Anthony Smith. Now Michel Pereira vs Igor. Would Khamzat beat Poatan? I'd bet on it. Leon vs Oezdemir? I'll take Leon.

Or maybe some people cut too much weight and were in the wrong weight class.

Taking Leon over Oezdemir is next-level delusion. What is with this topic and bizarre, nonsensical opinions?

 

[checktheknuckles]

I like Michel, but I think he is over achieving. Not sure how he does against the top guys, but if he can keep it up that would be great too. Just think he is getting 'lucky' so far, but the top of the division will always show your true colors. Its time for us to find out.

It's a Pereira clan thing.

I didn’t even remember that until you mention it, so yeah I would say he has lived it down, all people think about when Michel is the 3 brutal first round finishes he has gotten in the last 3 fights.

Yep, just goes to show how dumb weight cutting is.
