The Brazilian Michael Pereira, known as 'Paraense Voador', still hasn't accepted the defeat he suffered last Saturday (15), at UFC Rio Rancho, when he ended up losing by disqualification after throwing an illegal knee at Diego Sanchez. Angry with the referees' decision to interrupt the fight, the welterweight (under 77kg) used his social networks, in the early afternoon of this Monday (17), to provoke his rival.

"Diego Sanchez He entered the octagon like a rooster and left like a chicken”, wrote the Brazilian.
The result couldn't be worse for Pereira. On this weekend's card, Pereira dominated Sanchez for two rounds and was superior in the third until the moment he committed the illegal action, which ended the fight.
In addition to adding yet another negative result to his record as a professional in MMA, the defeat meant that Michel had just one victory since his debut in Ultimate, when, in a true 'show', he defeated the experienced Danny Roberts, in May of last year.
The confrontation against Diego – a veteran of the organization – could serve as a commitment to boost the athlete within the company, but the setback ends up putting the Brazilian in a complicated situation and with the obligation to win in his next confrontation to avoid complications within the company. .
Even with the setback, Pereira did not leave a bad impression with his presentation. The combatant managed to show intensity in the confrontation and knew how to balance moments of entertainment with actions that were able to nullify Diego's strategy.
