Michel Pereira Makes Middleweight Debut At UFC Vegas 81
1 year agoMichel Pereira (28-11) is set for his first fight since May 2022 and will be moving up to middleweight. Pereira was supposed to face Stephen Thompson in July, but he missed weight badly and the fight was scrapped, which forced the move to middleweight. He will now face Andre Petroski at UFC Vegas 81, who took the fight on short notice after Marc-Andre Barriault withdrew. Pereira enters his matchup as a sizeable favorite as DraftKings has him at a salary of $8,600, and in his UFC tenure, he's averaging 71.54 fantasy points per fight. Pereira is 6-2 in the UFC and has won five fights in a row, with four being by decision.
