Michel Pereira made a statement in his middleweight debut on Saturday when he steamrolled Andre Petroski at UFC Fight Night 230.
After weight-cutting issues forced him up from welterweight, Pereira (28-11 MMA, 7-2 UFC) showed what he’s capable of at maximum efficiency when he landed a massive right hand that dropped Petroski (10-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) before swarming for the TKO stoppage just 66 seconds into the bout at the UFC Apex.
