Michel Pereira is looking quite comfortable at 185 pounds.
The flashy Brazilian earned a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for his quick finish of Ihor Potieria in a featured middleweight clash at UFC 301 on Saturday night. Pereira locked in a guillotine choke and forced a tap from his opponent just 54 seconds into the opening stanza of their bout at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
One bout earlier, Caio Borralho secured a $50,000 bonus of his own for a knockout of Paul Craig in their middleweight pairing.
