Michel Pereira Gets Toughest Test To Date
1 year agoMichel Pereira (28-11) is riding a five-fight winning streak and now gets the toughest test of his career when he faces Stephen Thompson at UFC 291 on Saturday. Pereira is coming off a split-decision win over Santiago Ponzinibbio back in May of 2022. After losing back-to-back fights to Tristan Connelly and Diego Sanchez, Pereira has toned down on his crazy and wild style, which has led to more success. Against Thompson, however, he is the underdog, as DraftKings has him at a salary of $7,400. In his eight UFC fights, he's averaging 71.54 fantasy points per fight. Pereira was once known as a finisher, but on his five-fight winning streak, only one win has come by stoppage.
