Who is Michel Pereira?

Michel Periera was a veteran MMA fighter before making his UFC debut in May 2019, as he had competed in 30 professional fights before joining the promotion company.

Pereira proved his experience during his first UFC fight against Danny Roberts, stopping him by technical knockout (TKO) in the opening round.

There has been no stopping him since, as he has won eight out of 10 fights, fighting against Santiago Ponzinibbio, Niko Price, Andre Petroski, and Michael Oleksiejczuk, to name a few.

Who is Anthony Hernandez?

Anthony Hernandez is a US MMA fighter who wrestled in college before dropping out to pursue an MMA career, and his risk paid off.

He joined the Dana White Contender Series as a former LFA champion and received a contract from UFC soon after.

Following his debut, Hernandez has proved his skills in the UFC Octagon on many occasions, beating the likes of Roman Kopylov and Marc-Andre Barriault.

Who is Most Likely to Win the Fight?

Anthony Hernandez is the current favorite to win the fight. There is no doubt he has the grappling skills to force a fighter into submission. Also, his speed, slick transitions, and striking ability could prove too much for Pereira.

What’s more, Hernandez has height on his side, as he has two inches more reach that could force Pereira to the ground. However, Periera could use his extra two inches of leg reach to his advantage.

If Hernandez underestimates Pereira, he could be caught by a powerful one-shot knockout, like some of his past opponents. Also, his unorthodox strikes could surprise Hernandez, as you never know what he will do next.

However, both fighters have been stopped in the ring before, and they have the skills and power to walk away from the UFC Octagon victorious. It is sure to be an interesting fight.
