Michel Pereira Appreciation Thread

Recommended Posts

So I discover that Michel Pereira fought 37 times and only been finished twice.

 

His only KO loss came from an undefeated middleweight Duško Todorović (btw watch out for him too, he is signed to UFC). Thus, he probably has a granite chin and can take punches.

 

His only submission loss was in 2014. I dont know whats his ground game background but he has 6 submission wins and he is from Brazil.

 

 

Most of his loss came from poor decision-making. Like he just jumped up and down in the beginning and gassed out in the later rounds. I reckon that he can be a top 10 contender with a good gameplan. Like he has the skill set, the athleticism, the unpredictability. He just need a good gameplan.

 

What do yall think?

Additional info

 

1) From his Facebook biography:

2) From his UFC interview:

 

"Q:What ranks and titles have you held?"

 

"A: I am a champion in karate, a champion from Parana in wrestling, and a champion of jiu-jitsu."

Maybe scraping top 10 but I don't see him ever getting contender status, he lost against that Connely bloke that stepped in on a few days notice and looked about half his size (although the Roberts knockout was impressive).

Regardless, he's definitely awesome to watch. I know a lot of people think he's a joke and it's disrespectful, but I'd sure rather watch someone throw rolling thunders and try showtime kicks than someone clinch against the cage for 15 minutes.

Like I said, most of his loss are due to poor decision making lol.

 

The dude has no visible weakness, other than bad fight IQ/gameplan. He just needs to figure it out.
