Despite the good performance in the victory against Niko Price No. UFC 264, Michael Pereira went through serious trouble during the combat. The 'flying Paraense' revealed that he lost his sight after taking a 'finger' in the eye and said that he should return to training soon. The statement was given in an interview with 'Combate'.

“I tried to submit Niko but the 'animal' is too big. I was trying to grab his arm, but it's big and I felt it flat. He poked me in the eye a few times, I couldn't see almost anything, everything was blurry. Then he punched me in the eye which made it go back but blurred it again. It was a war but thank God everything went well and we came away with victory”, declared the Brazilian fighter.
Asked about when he would return to training, the Brazilian fighter doesn't want to take a long rest and stated that he will return to the gym in a maximum of two weeks.
“I'm going to take a week or two of rest, which is what my body needs. My training is very strong, I came from a camp Very intense and the body needs a couple of weeks to regenerate, relax before starting a new preparation. That's my plan and if they call me I'm ready”, concluded the Brazilian fighter.
On the rise in the welterweight division (up to 77,1kg), the 'flying man from Pará' won his last three fights in the organization. His last defeat was in February 2020 to Diego Sanchez. The Brazilian athlete has a record of 26 triumphs and 11 setbacks.
