LAS VEGAS – It may qualify as a “no duh!” type of statement, but Michel Pereira is feeling better than most fight weeks because he doesn’t have to cut an extra 15 pounds.
Pereira will return to the middleweight division Saturday at UFC Fight Night 230. He’s fought at 185 pounds before, but not in the UFC, where he’s been a welterweight. But he missed weight by three pounds earlier this year for a fight against Stephen Thompson, and the bout was scrapped.
So Pereira made the decision to go back up, and it sounds like he’s been enjoying the change.
