Continuing on his impressive run at the middleweight limit, exciting striking talent, Michel Pereira needed less than a minute to topple opponent, Ihor Potieria on the main card of UFC 301 tonight — wrapping up a taut guillotine choke just 54-seconds into their main card clash.
Pereira, who has landed both knockout and submissions wins over Andre Petroski, and Michal Oleksiejczuk, respectively — extended his winning run to eight straight fights with tonight’s success against Potieria.
Rocking the Ukraine native early during an exchange, Pereira then dropped the former, before backflipping into guard — appearing to catch Potieria on the chest-come-face — risking a potential ‘No Contest‘ if he landed a kick to the head of a grounded opponent.
Welcoming Potieria back to his feet, Pereira immediately wrapped up a guillotine choke on the Kyiv native, choking him unconscious after forcing a tap.
