Afterwards, Michel also commented on the strategy for the fight, which matched his style, with acrobatics shown right before the guillotine submission. Talking about the moment, he admitted that it was a risk, like everything inside the octagon, but that he would not give up doing so when he had the opportunity.

“It’s my style of fighting, everything has a risk and that’s how I am. I always take risks and that’s why I’m growing, that’s why I’m a UFC showman today. This is my way of fighting“, added Michel Pereira about the last fight.

Now, the Brazilian is already thinking about a quick recovery and preparing for the new fight, which would be his third in 2024. Before that, he also won Michal Oleksiejczuk by submission, with just over 1 minute of fight. He continues to seek a place in the middleweight rankings, to get closer to fighting for the belt.
