Pereira Dominates Strickland

Pereira, a former GLORY kickboxing champion, was making his second appearance in the UFC and looked impressive from the start. He dominated the fight on the feet, landing several hard shots that visibly hurt Strickland.

In the third round, Pereira landed a perfectly timed left hook that sent Strickland crashing to the canvas. Strickland was unable to recover, and the referee stopped the fight.

The win was a huge statement for Pereira, who is now one of the top contenders in the middleweight division. He will likely get a title shot against the winner of the upcoming fight between Israel Adesanya and Jared Cannonier.
