Michel Pereira Responds To UFC 301 Criticism: 'That's The Risk, But I'm The Risk-Taker'

[@Razear]

Win or lose, this dude's style is always fun to watch. Glad the commission didn't DQ him 'cause that would've really soured the mood.

[@bobaSmokey]

Crazy thing is he actually has the skills to beat DDP, if hed just reign the insanity in a bit but i dont think he will.

[@DakonBlackblade2]

Not sure if he needs to reign in anything, it’s more about the UFC actually giving him ranked opponents, it's getting dumb to repeatedly let him slaughter unranked fighters

Legalize grounded knees

[@az1m8290]

have you seen grounded knees in pride? they just get you in north south or side control and then jump up and knee you until there's a dent in your head. out of all banned moves, that shouldn't come back

[@SupaSaiyanGoku]

​@@az1m8290Perhaps they could keep north/south and side-control knees banned, but allow them from a standing position regardless of the opponents hands being on the mat. Basically drop the rule that your hand on the mat prevents a standing knee to the head

[@bluejay9235]

Should that have been a no contest? Probably, but Pereira was going to win regardless, he's just on a whole other level at MW. I want to see him wreck Bo Nickal next!

[@kylesprague4723]

Bo ain’t fighting him lol

[@yona1an]

Yeah they ain't feeding Bo to him

[@tg-ku1vm]

he would knockout bo. ufc wont force him to fight michel

[@mvp4lithuania]

So you can tell the future?

[@Jacob30523]

Bro thinks the golden chicken low blow nickal would take this fight against someone who’s actually good.

[@jion7242]

People just came to this card to complain. Nothing wrong with the knee it clearly didn't land on his head and it had no impact in the fight.

[@littlebitstrouds]

Being in control of your weapons is literally in the rule book... Blindly flipping onto a grounded opponent should be banned, period. The move is stupid. It's a question of when, not if, that strike will hurt someone unnecessarily.

@@littlebitstrouds oh no, god forbid MMA fighters get hurt. Btw remember the time when 230lb Francis Ngannou jumped a hammerfist straight into the face of an unconscious and concussed Stipe Miocic? Thank god he was in control of his weapons and no one got hurt.

[@lucassanchez9120]

Even if it landed it was an accident when people poke eyes mostly it’s an accident.

[@littlebitstrouds]

@@lucassanchez9120 You're telling me, he turned around and backflipped blindly onto a downed opponent, by accident... cool cool cool

Love this dude

that's what You called Perfomance of the night M.Periera🤣😭🔥🙏🏿🇧🇷 1 more win then top 15?

[@Fitkid7672]

No he’s ready for top 15 now. It would have been nice to see him fight caio

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

@@Fitkid7672 no He did say in the Episodes He will never fight Ciao

[@jvike4584]

If you want to kick or knee a grounded opponent, just do a flip first… 😂🤣

[@AlecRawls]

Pereira took the risk that his flip-knee would hit the head of his downed opponent and he LOST that gamble. He DID illegally smash the head of his downed opponent with his knee, and he should have paid the price it. Was the ref blind? He should have immediately called a halt to the action to give Ichor a chance to recover. If he could recover, then take a point from Pereira. If he could not recover, Pereira loses by disqualification due to an illegal strike. Atrocious refereeing.

[@bryantangelo8777]

Yeah honest Paul felder made it his job to make sure everyone criticized him for doing a back flip

[@crazypato3752]

Michel Pereira vs Sharaputdin Magomedov or too soon ?

[@TheHustle-yq4uh]

Too soon, let’s let the hype build up a little bit more 💯

[@vaishnavguvvala3346]

Mannnn if this dude fought DDP somehow hed be the champ rn. Unfortunately i don't see this man beating Izzy or Khamzat

[@level100wizard]

Why is a backflip knee okay, but Jon Jonas' elbow strike was enough to DQ him.

[@yona1an]

Future champ

[@oldSailor24]

100 %

[@ReliableNewsNetwork2]

He beat a guy who was too shitty for LHW and will likely be cut from the UFC within the next couple years and you say he's gonna be champ?

[@oldSailor24]

@@ReliableNewsNetwork2 He would have beaten anybody afront of him. What don't you understand? He is on a 8 fight winning streak( 5 in a row in WW) 3 in a row in MW. He would have had 9 wins in a row if it were not for the DQ loss against Diego Sanchez. He is well rounded, athletic and explosive and managing distance well, underrated scrambling & grappling. I don't think he himself understand how good he is. The only thing would be his conditioning but that is not a problem if he keeps finishing his opponents the second he gets them hurt. He checks too many boxes. I've been on the train since 2020. Everybody is now realizing that Michel is no joke. Future champ for sure.

[@ashlynnundlall]

When will he make a tutorial on how to do this move ?

Givr him a top 15. Leave the W on his record or overturn it. Make no difference he whooped some ass

THE ufc proteted him. only fight with chickens

[@oldSailor24]

lol, Pereira would KO Khamzat.

[@vickyp-xm1zo]

Anyone interested in him vs. Khamzat? It would be the highest ranked MW Khamzat has fought and I don’t see it being that easy for Khamzat honestly.
