Michel Pereira suffered the first loss of his UFC run over the weekend in Vancouver.

Pereira went all three rounds with Tristan Connelly, which the latter won via unanimous decision with scorecards of 29-28, 29-27, and 29-27. Unfortunately, Pereira came in one pound overweight for the fight. Therefore, he didn’t qualify for the bonus money he would’ve received after his fight with Connelly received Fight Of The Night.

Connelly, on the other hand, took home a $100,000 bonus. Now, Pereira has released a statement on his failed weight cut, claiming he cut 38.5 pounds for the contest on his own. Check out his full statement below (transcribed from Portuguese by MMA Fighting).

“Guys, many bad things happened. I got tired but not because of the things I did, but for the huge weight cut I had. I cut 17.5kg (38.5 pounds) by myself, with no on else (to help), and dealing with the stress of helping with my cornerman’s visa who wasn’t there. Everyone else had someone to help, I was alone there. It’s not an excuse, but I know I’m a fighter that grows as rounds goes by, but I got tired since my body shut down in the beginning of the second round.

“I fight for you guys, to put on a show or you. Let’s support more and criticize less. I fight this way to make UFC more fun. Fighters today only think about winning and put on boring fights, and that’s why MMA is decreasing so much. I want to make my fans happy by watching my fights, but this time things happened and led to my defeat. I lost to myself. I will be back to do it even better. You’ll see I have cardio to fight three rounds no problem.”

It was a rough night for Donald Cerrone in Vancouver last night (Sat. September 14, 2019).

“Cowboy” main evented the UFC Vancouver event against Justin Gaethje. Gaethje was able to connect with hooks on Cerrone all throughout the first round, before “The Highlight’s” power became too much for the former 155-pound title challenger to handle. However, the referee seemed to step in and stop the action far too late.

Both Gaethje and Cerrone voiced some frustrations with the officiating after the bout’s conclusion. UFC President Dana White, who is usually present for post-fight press conferences, was not in attendance for this past weekend’s event.

Instead, he was replaced by UFC executive David Shaw, who admitted he also believed the bout was stopped too late. (H/T BJPenn.com)

“Justin seemed upset. Cowboy seemed upset. It was one of those situations where Jerin probably gave Cowboy — considering his experience, expertise, and how long he’s been fighting — the benefit of the doubt. It probably could have got stopped a punch earlier,” Shaw said.

“He did the right thing in the end. It probably could have been stopped a punch earlier. Sometimes you have to give guys a bit more leeway to see if they can recover. But from my position, I believe it was stopped a tad too late.”

As for what’s next for Gaethje, the former World Series Of Fighting (WSOF) lightweight champion has said he’d like to face the winner of a presumed fight between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov. He’s also open to welcoming Conor McGregor back to Octagon action as well.

Do you think the referee was late in stopping Gaethje vs. Cerrone last night in Vancouver?
